Digital Portfolio Governance Lead

• Play a leading role in establishing CSIRO’s new Digital Portfolio Management Office 
• Pave the way in a newly created role 
• Flexible hybrid position welcoming applications from multiple Australian capital cities
  

The Digital Office (DO) is a newly created business unit under the leadership of the Chief Digital Officer. The DO’s purpose is to drive CSIRO’s digital and data capabilities to maximise CSIRO’s impact and value. The DO is responsible for uplifting the governance frameworks, processes, and practices which ensure effective delivery of CSIRO’s investments in strategic digital programs (the digital portfolio). The governing body for the digital portfolio is the recently established Digital Steering Committee, supported by several Program Boards.

As the Digital Portfolio/Program Governance Lead you will lead the DPMO, managing the governance structure and implementing practices and processes which support effective governance of the digital portfolio. You will play a key role in supporting the Digital Steering Committee to carry out its responsibilities and will lead the organisation to mature its digital portfolio practices on an ongoing basis.

The programs comprising the digital portfolio span multiple business units and teams, so a strong ability to build trust, influence diverse stakeholders, and negotiate complex scenarios will be key to success. As CSIRO's portfolio governance leader, you will champion transparency, open communication, and inclusive decision-making, strengthening our reputation as a reliable, responsive, and innovative partner.
