The successful candidate will have the opportunity to move beyond experimentation and help determine where AI can create genuine, measurable value for the organisations people, customers and communities.
 
This is a career-defining opportunity for an AI leader who wants to build something significant.
 
The opportunity to shape the future:
 
As the inaugural General Manager – Artificial Intelligence, you will establish the enterprise AI function and provide strategic leadership across AI strategy, innovation, governance, investment and value realisation.
 
Key responsibilities include:

• Execute the organisation’s AI strategy and roadmap, translating its strategic direction into enterprise-wide adoption, measurable outcomes and sustainable value;

• Build the Enterprise AI Office from the ground up, establishing the operating model, capability, priorities and ways of working required to scale AI responsibly;

• Identify and deliver high-value AI opportunities across health, aged care, community services and corporate functions, moving from pilots and experimentation into measurable enterprise outcomes;

• Embed and evolve the organisation’s AI governance, risk, ethics and assurance frameworks, ensuring AI continues to be adopted safely, responsibly and in alignment with organisational values;

• Lead enterprise-wide decisions around AI investment, prioritisation and value realisation, ensuring investment is focused on initiatives that deliver meaningful outcomes; and

• Work closely with the Executive Leadership Team, senior leaders and Boards to build AI confidence, understanding and adoption across the organisation.

Why this opportunity is different:
