About the role:
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Continuous Improvement, Uplift & Technology (CIUT) within Victoria Police and contribute to the delivery of critical technology and business transformation projects that enable Victoria Police to keep the Victorian community safe.
The Digital Delivery and Transformation Division (DDTD) within CIUT provides a dedicated high-cadence delivery capability of fit-for-purpose digital solutions that support Victoria Police's objectives and enable its mission to keep members, employees, and the community safe.
We are seeking two experienced and versatile VPS6 Lead Senior Business Analysts to join our team and play key roles in the successful delivery of strategic business and technology initiatives.
