The chance we have available

Organised within the Corporate and Territories Group, the Information Technology and Data Division’s purpose is to connect people and technology, empowering the department to excel. The division is responsible for the provision and support of stable and secure ICT systems, applications and services across the department, supporting staff across Australia, ministerial offices and portfolio entities. The division delivers the digital tools, services and infrastructure required to support departmental operations, collaboration and service delivery.

The Web Services Section is responsible for the management, governance and delivery of the department's web services, content management and digital publishing capability. The section supports the department's online presence through the whole-of-government GovCMS platform and associated technologies, providing web publishing, content management, accessibility,



platform administration, technical support and digital governance services.

The section works closely with business areas, ICT teams, corporate functions, vendors and whole-of-government stakeholders to ensure web and content management services remain secure, accessible, compliant, sustainable and aligned with departmental objectives.

We are seeking an experienced and motivated Assistant Director to lead the Web Services Section. This role combines operational leadership, people management, platform management, governance oversight and service delivery. You will be responsible for ensuring the department's web services and content management capability continue to meet organisational needs while supporting the department’s public-facing digital web presence.

As the leader of the section, you will oversee the delivery, governance and continual improvement of the department's web services and content management capability, ensuring services remain effective, compliant and aligned with departmental requirements. You will oversee the GovCMS platform and associated services, manage a team of specialists, provide expert advice to stakeholders and ensure services remain secure, accessible, supportable and aligned with departmental and whole-of-government requirements.

While the role supports the department's web publishing and content management capability, it is primarily a platform management, governance and service delivery role. The position focuses on governance, platform administration, service delivery, operational support, technology change, compliance and continual improvement of the department's GovCMS and associated web technologies. It is not primarily responsible for creating website content or communications products.

This role offers a unique opportunity to lead and improve the department's web services and content management capability, support digital governance outcomes, and deliver services that support both departmental operations and the Australian public.
