Project Technical Lead

Looking for Technical Project Lead – Brisbane/Hybrid
About the Role
Lead the technical delivery of a major cloud‑based finance system upgrade, guiding development, integration, and solution design while partnering with technical and non‑technical stakeholders to ensure a successful transition by September 2026.

Your New Company
  • You will be joining a government organisation undertaking a significant multi‑year transformation to modernise its core finance systems.
  • The team is progressing into Phase 2 of the program—transitioning to a modern cloud finance platform and strengthening integration with a business‑critical system.
  • The project has strong continuity, with the current Project Manager, Senior Developer and Project Board remaining in place to maintain momentum and stability.
  • Phase 2 is scheduled for completion by 7 September 2026.

Key responsibilities include:
  • Managing the technical scope, identifying risks early, and working closely with the Project Manager to keep delivery on track.
  • Acting as the bridge between technical teams and non‑technical stakeholders, translating business needs into clear technical requirements.
  • Maintaining coding standards, overseeing automated testing processes, and participating in security reviews.
  • Identifying and resolving technical roadblocks, developing workarounds when needed, and tackling complex technical issues.
  • Leading technical milestones from planning through deployment, ensuring risks are managed and outcomes are delivered on time and to a high standard.
  • Ensuring all solutions align with established architectural principles and guidelines.
  • Working with a broad range of stakeholders on application design and integration and supporting change by understanding their needs.
  • Overseeing the operational handover of integration components to ensure they are well‑maintained and supported into business‑as‑usual operations.

What You Will Need to Succeed:
  • Experience leading teams across system design, application development, data modelling, and solution delivery.
  • Strong capability in managing testing, maintenance, troubleshooting, and issue resolution in complex environments.
  • Proven ability to provide technical and design leadership, analyse complex issues, and produce timely, innovative, and cost‑effective technical solutions.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts for varied audiences, influence decision‑making, and negotiate effectively.

Other expectations:
  • Active participation in planning activities and commitment to corporate responsibilities.
  • Ability to model values of respect, quality, and accountability.
  • Strong governance and risk‑management discipline.
  • Commitment to fostering an inclusive, diverse, and well‑supported workplace.

Mandatory requirements:
  • Degree in software engineering, information technology, or a relevant discipline.
  • Willingness to undergo a criminal history check.
  • Ability to disclose relevant conflicts of interest prior to commencement.

What You Will Get in Return:
  • Opportunity to lead the technical direction of a major cloud finance system modernisation.
  • A stable and supportive project environment with continuity across key leadership roles.
  • Work that directly enables organisational modernisation, improved system capability, and long‑term digital uplift.
  • A role that offers professional growth across solution design, integration, cloud platforms, and governance.
  • Contract engagement through to 30 June 2026, with potential for extension based on project needs.
  • Experience contributing to a high‑visibility, strategically important transformation initiative.
