About Us
Picture a career that’s more than numbers. At the Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF), we’re building a world class Treasury for South Australia—one that’s innovative, collaborative, and future focused.
We’re South Australia’s lead agency for economic, digital, and financial policy outcomes. Our work touches every corner of the state, from enabling frontline services to driving digital transformation. And we do it all with one purpose: to make life better for the people who call South Australia home.
The Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) enables a more connected and secure government so that South Australian (SA) Government agencies can better serve our community. We do this by leading the SA Government’s technology, cyber security, and digital government strategies, as well as developing and delivering resilient and innovative ICT, digital and cyber security services, platforms, and critical infrastructure to SA Government agencies that are accessible, trusted, and secure.
Why This Role Matters
Your leadership provides the digital foundations—data, platforms and systems—that underpin Treasury’s role as a trusted fiscal, economic, digital and policy advisor to government. In doing so, you enable secure, integrated and future-ready services that benefit all South Australians.
About the Opportunity
The Director, Digital Strategy, Technology, and Architecture is a newly created executive role providing strategic leadership and enterprise design authority for whole-of-government digital transformation. The role sets whole-of-government technology strategy and enterprise architecture to ensure interoperability, security and long term sustainability across digital platforms and services. It drives digital service innovation, oversees adoption of shared capabilities such as digital identity and data exchange, and establishes the standards and guardrails that guide major government programs.
