About the Role

Help metering services move into operations with the knowledge, controls and readiness they need to succeed. Reporting to the Head of Metering Operations, you will develop and deliver the Knowledge Transition Plan and coordinate transition, stabilisation and continuous improvement.

Based in Sydney, you will work with Metering Operations subject-matter experts, the Accenture Transition team and BPO delivery teams. This role has no direct reports and relies on clear ownership, practical coordination and effective stakeholder engagement. The role offers a hybrid arrangement, with three days per week in the office.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop knowledge-transition plans with clear owners, milestones, dependencies, readiness measures and acceptance criteria, ensuring effective operational handover.
• Coordinate knowledge transfer, training, access and approved documentation across operational and BPO teams.
• Coordinate the creation, review and approval of procedures, work instructions, process maps and operational knowledge, ensuring clear ownership and version control.
• Assess readiness across people, processes, technology, data and controls, closing or escalating gaps.
• Support transitioned services through stabilisation, tracking early-life issues, knowledge gaps and corrective actions through to resolution.
• Maintain clear transition governance and reporting across progress, actions, risks, issues and dependencies, highlighting decisions and escalations required.
• Translate operational insights and recurring issues into practical, sustained service improvements.

About You

You bring at least eight years’ experience in operational performance, service management, business improvement, reporting, governance or optimisation, including at least five years in utilities, energy, metering or operational services. You have delivered service transition, integration, readiness or knowledge transfer across complex operational change.

You can manage transition plans, dependencies and risks, work effectively with outsourced providers and convert operational knowledge into clear procedures, training and handover material. Strong planning, stakeholder engagement, governance reporting and process-mapping capability are essential. Experience in utilities, energy, metering services or BPO operations would be highly regarded.

A relevant tertiary qualification in business, operations, service management, project management or a related discipline is required. Service/change/project certification is desirable. Experience supporting TSA, separation, transformation or service-transfer programs, including working with Accenture or comparable BPO providers, is desirable.

Why Apply?

Work where operational knowledge meets transformation delivery. Help receiving teams become ready to own services, then use transition insights to improve service quality, operational effectiveness and customer outcomes.

The successful candidate will be required to satisfactorily complete a criminal history check as part of the pre-employment screening process.
