- Initial two-year fixed-term contract based in Seven Hills, Sydney, with flexible working arrangements and regular engagement across multiple sites.

Impact of the organisation
For over 75 years, Access Industries has empowered people living with disability through inclusive services, creating meaningful and sustainable employment opportunities that improve lives. With a robust reputation, established commercial operations and a commitment to inclusion, the organisation combines social impact with operational excellence and commercial sustainability.

Impact you will have in this role
Access Industries is seeking a creative and forward-thinking Head of Digital Transformation to lead the execution of its digital strategy and steer significant enterprise-wide technology transformation.

With Access Industries transitioning from legacy on-premises infrastructure towards modern, cloud-based solutions, this is an exciting greenfield opportunity to lead the enterprise applications architecture and integration across finance, operations, HR, payroll, inventory and broader business functions.

A key focus will be identifying opportunities to leverage AI, automation, data and emerging technologies to improve business processes, strengthen decision-making and create more efficient and accessible ways of working.

- Establish enterprise architecture, data and systems integration frameworks that improve information flow, reporting and organisational efficiency.
- Identify and implement opportunities for AI, intelligent automation and emerging technologies to improve productivity, accessibility and decision-making.
- Partner with business leaders to improve processes, strengthen operational performance and ensure technology solutions align with organisational needs.
- Lead organisational change and digital adoption, building confidence and capability across employees with varying levels of technology experience.
- Oversee technology infrastructure, cyber security, information governance and service resilience to support reliable operations.
- Lead and develop the internal technology function, managing strategic vendors, partnerships and technology investment priorities.
- Provide strategic advice to the CEO, Executive Leadership Team and Board, translating complex technology considerations into clear commercial recommendations.

About you

- Extensive senior leadership experience delivering enterprise-wide digital transformation, with proven experience executing complex ERP, CRM and enterprise application implementations, from solution design and architecture through to systems integration, rollout, adoption and measurable business outcomes.
- Strong enterprise architecture and integration capability, with experience connecting technology, data and business processes across multiple operational functions.
- Experience with Microsoft technologies, including Dynamics 365, Business Central, Power Platform and Azure, is highly regarded.
- Demonstrated ability to leverage AI, automation and innovative technology solutions to deliver practical business improvements.
- Strong commercial acumen and a resourceful approach to technology investment,
