- Full-time permanent position based in Adelaide CBD
- Lead the development of RAA's enterprise Data Strategy and Architecture capability
- Build the foundations that will power data-driven decision making and AI across the organisation

The Role

We're building something new.

Data is becoming one of RAA's most important strategic assets, and we're investing in a dedicated Data & AI capability to unlock its full potential.

As the Senior Manager, Data Strategy & Architecture, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping how RAA manages, governs and leverages data across the enterprise. This is a rare opportunity to build and lead a newly established capability, developing the enterprise data strategy, establishing data governance frameworks, and creating the architectural foundations that will enable trusted analytics, artificial intelligence and better business decisions for years to come.

Leading our Data Engineering, Data Governance and Data Science functions, you'll translate strategic ambition into practical, scalable and well-governed capabilities. You'll partner closely with business and technology leaders to define the future state of data at RAA, ensuring our platforms, architecture and governance frameworks support innovation while maintaining trust, security and compliance.

This is more than a technology leadership role. It's an opportunity to define how data becomes a true enterprise capability and a strategic enabler of RAA's future.

About You

You're a strategic leader who understands that great data capabilities are built on more than technology alone. You know how to balance strategy, governance, architecture and delivery to create trusted, scalable and sustainable data environments.

You bring a strong vision for how organisations can use data as a strategic asset and have the experience to build the frameworks, platforms and practices that turn that vision into reality. You're equally comfortable influencing senior stakeholders,



leading technical specialists and shaping investment decisions that drive long-term value.

We're looking for someone with:

- Significant experience leading enterprise data strategy, governance and architecture functions within complex organisations
- A proven track record establishing data management frameworks, governance models and enterprise data capabilities
- Experience developing and evolving modern data platforms, including cloud-based data environments and engineering practices
- Strong knowledge of enterprise data architecture, information management and data governance principles
- Experience influencing senior leadership teams and embedding data as a strategic organisational capability
- A passion for creating trusted, well-governed data environments that enable analytics, AI and business innovation

When you join RAA, you'll find more than just a leadership role:

- The opportunity to establish and lead a recent enterprise Data Strategy & Architecture function
- The ability to shape RAA's first integrated enterprise data strategy and roadmap
- A key leadership role in building the foundations for our Data & AI future
- The chance to influence enterprise-wide decision making and strategic investments
- The opportunity to lead high-performing teams across data engineering, governance and data science
- A career-defining role helping one of South Australia's most trusted brands become a truly data-driven organisation

Help build the foundations of RAA's Data & AI future.
