Job Description

Who are we looking for?

n

We're looking for a Manager of the Workplace Technology to join our Information Systems team, based in either Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane.

n

GHD is a global professional services company working across engineering, architecture, environment and advisory, helping our clients and communities meet the challenges of a changing world.

n

Our Enterprise Strategy 2035, "We Master Technology," places technology at the heart of how we deliver, and our Information Services & Technology (IS&T;) team is building the digital workplace that will carry GHD into the AI era. We are looking for a leader to own it.

n

As Manager - Workplace Technology, you will own both the strategy and the daily quality of the technology experience for every person at GHD. Reporting to the Chief Technology Officer with a seat at the IS Leadership Team, you will lead three teams (Device Management; Cloud Compute & Virtual Environments; and a new Digital Workspaces & Collaboration function you will help build) and steer GHD along Microsoft's three-mode journey: from Chat, to Cowork, to Digital Workers. This is a build-and-transform role for someone who wants to shape what comes next, not maintain the status quo.

n

Working with an energetic and high performing team, this position offers a variety of work and will see you involved in:

n

n
- Owning GHD's end user compute and digital workspace strategy and a three-year roadmap toward AI-augmented, agent-enabled working.
n
- Leading and growing three sub-teams across multiple geographies,



and stand up the new Digital Workspaces & Collaboration function as a first priority.
n
- Driving M365 Copilot enterprise adoption, moving from persona acceleration to genuine process redesign.
n
- Establishing a digital employee experience (DEX) measurement framework and continuously improve the daily technology experience.
n
- Managing the device lifecycle, the Azure Virtual Desktop and Nerdio estate, and end user compute cost governance.
n
- Readying GHD's environment for AI agents and non-human identities, partnering with Cyber and Platform on workspace security.
n
- Representing the digital workplace at the IS Leadership Team and partner with Microsoft on the Copilot and Windows AI roadmap.
n

n

What you will bring to the team:

n

n
- 10+ years in end user computing at enterprise scale (10,000+ users, multi-geography), ideally within global professional services or engineering.
n
- Deep expertise across device lifecycle (Windows, macOS, mobile, BYOD), VDI/DaaS (Azure Virtual Desktop, Nerdio) and M365 administration (Teams, SharePoint, Exchange, Intune, Entra ID).
n
- A track record of leading Copilot or digital workplace transformation, from strategy through deployment to measured adoption.
n
- Experience building or running a DEX measurement programme,



and robust people leadership through change.
n
- Commercial acumen to frame technology in terms of productivity, cost per user and business enablement.
n
- Genuine curiosity and daily, hands-on use of AI tools: you lead the change by living it.
n
- Certifications: Microsoft MD-102 and MS-102 or equivalent (required); AZ-140 and a Copilot or AI-related certification (desirable).
n

n

Why you'll love this role:

n

n
- A genuinely strategic, high-visibility role reporting to the CTO, with influence at the IS Leadership Team.
n
- Ownership of Copilot, AI agents and the Digital Workers roadmap, at the leading edge of enterprise AI.
n
- The rare chance to build a new function and a multi-year roadmap from the ground up.
n
- Global scale and a strategic partnership with Microsoft.
n
- Purpose: your work is central to Strategy 2035 and to the daily experience of every person at GHD.
n

n

GHD is an equal opportunity employer, and we want everyone to be able to fully participate in our recruitment process. We value a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture. We encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and people of all identities.

n

GHD embraces hybrid work arrangements to create a work environment focused on well-being, flexibility and productivity where GHD people can thrive, this supports the diverse needs of our workforce while balancing the benefits of remote working with the value of face-to-face collaboration in the office.
