* Monitor expenditure against approved budgets and identify variances
* Analyse cost drivers, trends and financial risks across ICT systems
* Provide clear financial advice to technical and program stakeholders
* Produce financial reporting and artefacts for governance forums
* Support cost modelling and optimisation activities
* Engage across PMO, ICT teams and finance to support decision-making
What you’ll bring
* Experience in ICT financial management, cost modelling or budgeting
* Ability to work with technical teams and translate costs into meaningful insights
* Experience in government, Defence or similarly structured environments
* Strong understanding of financial controls, forecasting and variance analysis
* Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders (EL2/SES level)
Desirable:
* ICT enterprise cost analysis experience
* Experience working in classified environments
The environment
* Based at Russell Offices, Canberra
* Highly structured, governance-driven setting
* Focus on sustainment of operational systems, not greenfield delivery
* Limited flexibility (considered case-by-case)
* No regular overtime required
* Some domestic travel may occur
Clearance

This is a strong fit for someone who wants to move beyond transactional finance work and play a more active role in how ICT capability is funded and sustained within a national security environment.
