IDT Australia is seeking an experienced Digital Transformation Lead to take ownership of a portfolio of digital transformation initiatives already underway within our pharmaceutical manufacturing business.

This is a hands-on delivery role for someone who can quickly understand where we are, bring structure and momentum to multiple projects, engage stakeholders and SMEs, remove barriers and drive initiatives through to successful implementation and adoption.

What you'll lead

A key focus will be the continued implementation of our ACE digital platform, incorporating eQMS, CMMS, LMS and DMS, together with the continued development and staged implementation of our Production Execution System (PES), including electronic batch records and digital manufacturing workflows.

Working closely with project sponsors, SMEs, system owners and technology partners, you will:

- Bring digital initiatives together into a clear and achievable transformation roadmap.

- Establish practical governance, milestones, priorities and accountabilities.

- Drive projects through configuration, testing, validation, implementation and adoption.

- Coordinate internal SMEs, vendors and project resources to maintain momentum.

- Identify and resolve barriers, competing priorities, risks and dependencies.

- Partner with Quality and Validation to ensure systems meet applicable GMP, data integrity and validation requirements.





- Lead stakeholder engagement and change activities, building buy-in and shared ownership.

- Support successful transition into operational use with explicit ownership, documentation and support arrangements.

About you

You are an experienced digital transformation, program or project professional who has successfully delivered complex technology-enabled business change.

Ideally, you will bring:

- Demonstrated experience delivering digital transformation, enterprise systems or technology-enabled improvement projects.

- Strong program/project management skills with a practical, hands-on delivery style.

- Experience taking systems through requirements, configuration/design, testing, implementation and adoption.

- Strong stakeholder engagement and change-management capability.

- The ability to influence across functions, engage SMEs and drive outcomes without direct reporting authority.

- Experience managing technology vendors and implementation partners.

- Experience within pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device or another highly regulated manufacturing environment would be highly regarded.

- Knowledge of GMP/GxP, validated computerised systems, CSV/CSA and data integrity would be advantageous.

- Exposure to eQMS, CMMS, LMS, DMS/eDMS, MES/PES, electronic batch records or ERP systems would also be highly regarded.

Why join IDT?

This is an opportunity to join IDT at an important stage of our digital transformation journey. You'll inherit projects with significant work already completed and have the opportunity to use your experience to take them through the next stages of implementation and adoption.

Success will be as much about people and collaboration as technology. We are looking for someone who builds relationships, creates shared ownership and keeps things moving.

Above all, we are looking for someone who takes ownership, gets involved and gets things done.

If you enjoy turning transformation plans into practical operational outcomes, we'd like to hear from you.
