Lead digital insight and innovation at UnitingSA. Empower informed decisions and smarter service delivery through data, systems, and strategy.

We’re entering an exciting new phase in the evolution of our IT team, and we’re looking for passionate, forward-thinking individuals to be a part of it.

As we expand and strengthen our team, this is your opportunity to help shape the future of ICT in a dynamic and supportive environment. Be part of a growing team committed to delivering innovative, user-focused digital transformation that makes a real impact.

At UnitingSA, we believe technology should enable, not overwhelm. As our Manager, Business Systems, Data and Analytics, you’ll play a critical role in ensuring our enterprise systems, data architecture, and analytics capabilities are future-ready, secure, and fit for purpose.

Reporting to the Senior Manager, IT and Digital Transformation, this leadership position is your opportunity to shape how we capture, govern and use information to create real-world impact, supporting people-centred services across aged care, housing, disability, mental health and community sectors.

The Opportunity

With your strategic mindset and technical expertise, you will lead a high-performing team responsible for application portfolio management, development, integration, and optimisation of core business systems and analytics platforms.

You’ll drive the digital transformation of cloud strategy and data warehousing into actionable insights, supporting evidence-based decision-making and operational efficiency. Your leadership will foster data literacy across the organisation, embed best-practice governance, and ensure our systems keep pace with organisational growth and sector demands.

What You’ll Lead and Deliver

• Strategic leadership of business systems – from selection and implementation to enhancement, ensuring alignment with business needs and user experience
• Enterprise data architecture – delivering scalable, secure and integrated data environments to support organisational intelligence
• Governance and quality frameworks – upholding data security, accuracy and compliance with relevant standards and legislation
• Analytics and reporting services – empowering teams with modern tools to unlock insights, trends and opportunities
• Stakeholder engagement and change leadership – building partnerships across all levels to deliver fit-for-purpose solutions and drive digital adoption
• Team development and culture – mentoring a capable, curious team in a collaborative, hybrid work environment

About You

You are a strategic thinker and systems expert with a genuine passion for modern architecture and unlocking the power of data. With proven experience leading enterprise applications and analytics functions, you thrive on complexity and deliver outcomes that enhance service quality, compliance and operational excellence.

You bring:

• Qualifications in ICT, Information Systems, or a related field
• Demonstrated leadership in managing cross-functional IT systems or data teams within medium to large organisations
• Expertise in enterprise system administration, integration technologies, and cloud-based solutions
• Strong grasp of data governance, privacy, and risk management frameworks
• Proficiency with ERP, SaaS, data warehousing, analytics platforms and visualisation tools (e.g. Power BI, Tableau)
• The ability to translate technical concepts for diverse audiences and influence strategic decisions

You may also hold certifications such as ITIL, TOGAF, PMP, DMBOK or equivalent—though we value practical experience just as highly.
