We are more than a securities exchange!

The ASX team brings together talented people from a diverse range of disciplines.

Our employee-led networks champion LGBTIQ+ inclusion, promote gender equality, accessibility and wellbeing, inspire giving and volunteering, and celebrate cultural and religious events, creating a sense of belonging for all. As an AWEI Bronze employer and member of the Champions of Change Coalition for gender equality, we’re committed to a fair and inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive.

• Facilitate the annual and quarterly planning cycles, turning strategy and investment decisions into prioritised, sequenced and achievable objectives across multiple teams.

• Deliver performance oversight by monitoring progress against objectives and key metrics, and highlighting insights, risks and delivery trade-offs to support informed decision-making.

• Support the adoption of enterprise governance rhythms, forums, cadences and artefacts within DET to improve workflow, issue escalation and the quality of decision-making.

• Support the development of decision-ready materials for senior leadership, clearly outlining options, impacts, recommendations and required actions.

• Lead performance and delivery forums, turning complex delivery information into clear, outcome-focused narratives for executives and accountable teams.

• Develop and deliver structured stakeholder engagement approaches that bring diverse groups together around shared outcomes and organisation-wide priorities.

• Drive consistency in performance measures and planning standards and support adoption across teams.

What you will bring:

Must have

• Tertiary qualification in business, strategy, governance, technology or a related discipline, or equivalent experience

• Proven experience in a performance, delivery, portfolio or enterprise transformation role.

• Experience working within, and applying pragmatically, Agile delivery frameworks, enterprise delivery methodologies and governance standards.

• Proficient in enterprise planning, reporting and delivery tools (e.g. Jira and AI-enabled platforms such as Copilot), with a strong focus on insight generation and decision quality.

• Strong analytical capability, with the ability to synthesise complex data into meaningful insights that inform decision-making.

• Strong stakeholder coordination skills, including the ability to design structured engagement approaches, manage senior and diverse stakeholder groups, and influence outcomes in ambiguous or challenging environments.

• Proven ability to translate complex information into clear, decision-ready narratives for senior leaders, including options, impacts, recommendations and required actions.

• Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced and dynamic environment, using sound judgement to balance pace, quality and risk.
