About the role
We are seeking an Infrastructure & Platforms Lead for a 12‐month contract (possible extension to 18 months). Reporting to the Chief Information Officer, the role is responsible for ensuring our technology foundations are secure, resilient, supportable and fit for growth.
Responsibilities include leading the operational management and controlled evolution of WGA's hybrid infrastructure environment covering cloud platforms, core systems, identity and access, networking, endpoints, collaboration services and operational security controls. The role translates strategic direction into practical standards, roadmaps and delivery priorities, balancing service quality, risk, performance and business needs. Working closely with business leaders, engineering teams, technology peers and suppliers ensures infrastructure and platforms actively support project delivery, engineering workflows and organisational growth across Australia and New Zealand. The lead will also manage a small specialist team and contribute to broader technology and security uplift initiatives.
Qualifications and experience
* Proven leadership of hybrid infrastructure and platform environments, predominantly within Microsoft ecosystems, with exposure to adjacent cloud platforms such as Azure.
* Strong practical experience across networking, identity and access, endpoints, collaboration, remote access and operational resilience.
* The ability to provide authoritative technical guidance on complex issues while maintaining a strong operational focus.
* Experience lifting infrastructure, security and service maturity in growing or mixed‐maturity organisations.
* A risk‐based, pragmatic approach to security, controls and service management, including exposure to frameworks such as Essential Eight, DISP, ASD8 or ISO 27001.
* Strong stakeholder and supplier management skills, with the confidence to influence, challenge and build trust.
* Demonstrated people leadership experience, supporting teams through change and evolving standards.
* An understanding of infrastructure and platform requirements that support engineering, large‐file workflows and emerging AI‐enabled services.
* Experience in engineering consultancies, professional services, or multi‐site environments (including Australia and New Zealand) will be highly regarded.
About the candidate
We look for a pragmatic, credible infrastructure leader who enjoys operating at the intersection of technology, people and delivery. They bring strong hands‐on technical experience and the judgement to know where standards, controls and change need to be introduced gradually and sustainably.
