Water is life. Every day, millions of Western Australians rely on the safe, reliable water services our people deliver. Behind those services sits a diverse portfolio of corporate systems that supports teams across Water Corporation to work effectively, manage risk and deliver important business outcomes.

We're looking for a people‑focused technology leader to join us in this 12-month fixed‑term opportunity, leading our Corporate Systems team and helping progress the modernisation of our application landscape, strengthen service ownership and evolve our ways of working.

This isn't just a technology management role. It's an opportunity to lead a capable team, bring clarity to a diverse technology landscape and make a meaningful impact over the 12-month term.

As Manager Corporate Systems, you will lead the Corporate Systems capability within Water Corporation's ERP & Corporate Systems platform, responsible for a diverse portfolio of enterprise applications and technology services that support business functions across the organisation. As service owner, you'll lead the delivery, operation and continuous improvement of these services, keeping them stable, secure, compliant and fit for future needs. You'll work closely with business stakeholders, vendors and delivery teams to shape the Corporate Systems roadmap, balance competing priorities and progress the modernisation, rationalisation and improvement of our application landscape.

What makes this role different?

• Lead a diverse portfolio of corporate systems supporting business functions across Water Corporation.
• Shape the future of the application landscape through modernisation, rationalisation and continuous improvement.
• Balance operational excellence with changing business needs, technology risk and opportunities to simplify.

A leader who builds high‑performing teams, creates accountability and can confidently navigate complexity, competing priorities, risks and stakeholder expectations.

You’ll bring significant experience leading enterprise applications, corporate systems or technology platform teams in a large, complex organisation, along with strong stakeholder engagement, vendor management and commercial skills. Experience managing a diverse application portfolio and leading technology modernisation or rationalisation will be highly regarded. Most importantly, you understand that the business defines the outcomes, and you have the curiosity and drive to help it realise value through technology.

Join us
