Executive Contract | 12-month fixed term with possible extension | Melbourne | Financial Services

This is a rare opportunity to help shape the technology foundations of a combined financial services organisation from the outset . We are partnering with an established Australian financial services organisation entering an important period of strategic change and potential business integration.

We are seeking an accomplished Head of Technology Strategy & Integration to lead the technology workstream - assessing two technology environments, defining the optimal future state and creating the roadmap and governance capability required to successfully bring them together.

Reporting directly to the CEO, this is a high-impact executive engagement with exposure to the Board, senior leadership and regulatory stakeholders.

Your mandate will span five key areas:

Discover → Decide → Design → Embed → Enable

You will:

- Lead technology due diligence across platforms, infrastructure, CRM, data, cyber, vendors and digital capability.
- Recommend the future-state technology environment and operating model.
- Develop the technology transition and integration blueprint, including priorities, dependencies, investment and risk.
- Determine which platforms and services should be retained, consolidated, replaced or retired.
- Establish and embed effective Line 1 technology governance and management capability.
- Strengthen operational resilience, cyber and third-party risk practices aligned with APRA CPS 230 and CPS 234.




- Establish appropriate data and vendor governance frameworks.
- Provide strategic technology advice to the CEO, Executive Leadership Team and Board.
- Support regulatory engagement and coordinate specialist architecture, cyber, data and implementation resources where required.

About You

You will be a senior technology leader with experience operating across technology strategy, transformation, integration and governance, ideally within financial services or another highly regulated setting.

You will bring:

- Senior technology leadership experience, potentially as a CIO, CTO, Head of Technology or Transformation/Integration Director.
- Experience with M&A; integration, technology transformation or major platform consolidation.
- Strong understanding of technology operating models, governance and operational resilience.
- Knowledge of APRA CPS 230 and CPS 234 will be highly regarded.
- Strong vendor, outsourcing and third-party management experience.
- The ability to translate complex technology issues into clear commercial recommendations.
- Confidence engaging with CEOs, Boards, executives, regulators and external advisers.

This is not a hands-on architecture or operational IT role. It requires a strategic technology leader who can assess, challenge, recommend and execute, while bringing in specialist expertise where required.
