The Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) enables a more connected and secure government so that South Australian (SA) Government agencies can better serve our community. We do this by leading the SA Government’s technology, cyber security, and digital government strategies, as well as developing and delivering resilient and innovative ICT, digital and cyber security services, platforms, and critical infrastructure to SA Government agencies that are accessible, trusted and secure.

OCIO supports flexible work arrangements, and our office environment is activity‑based, with spaces tailored for focused work, collaboration, and general space for everyday work.
This role is central to advancing South Australia’s digital transformation. You will lead the development of whole-of-government strategies and policy frameworks across digital services, cyber security, and emerging technologies, ensuring alignment with strategic priorities and risk management principles.

- Establish and maintain trusted stakeholder relationships across government, industry, and national jurisdictions to enable collaboration and innovation.
- Communicate complex technical concepts and strategic objectives clearly to diverse audiences, ensuring alignment and engagement.

To be successful in this role, you will need:
- Strong capability in policy development, strategic planning, and governance within ICT or technology domains.
- Exceptional stakeholder engagement and negotiation skills, with the ability to build consensus across diverse groups.
- Advanced analytical and problem‑solving skills, able to navigate high‑risk and politically sensitive issues.
