• Embedding strong governance, risk and compliance practices across enterprise systems in a regulated government environment;

• Ensuring systems enable integration, data quality and interoperability to support effective decision-making;

• Providing input into investment planning and business case development through system performance insights and operational knowledge; and

• Leading multidisciplinary teams across systems, service management, vendors and support functions, building accountability and continuous improvement.
