  • Lead technical design reviews, code walkthroughs, and platform governance discussions.
  • Work closely with the Business Systems Manager to align technical delivery with the platform roadmap.
• Prioritisation
  • Ensure prioritisation of projects, tasks and resources in accordance with direction from the Business Systems Manager.
• Compliance
  • Ensure systems are followed in terms of: QA systems (ISO 9001), Documentation, WHS (ISO 45001), and Environmental systems (ISO 14001)
• ISO27001 and Security Compliance
  • Ensure compliance with IT and data security best practices.
  • Adhere to ISO27001 principles.
