Details: What's the difference between a cat and a contract? One has claws at the end of its paws, the other has a pause at the end of a clause!
If you are a senior leader who understands the significance of a pause and the importance of contractual claws, enjoys working collaboratively on complex challenges and is motivated to deliver programs of work with visible community impact, you should consider applying for the role of Program Delivery Lead (TAPES).
The Traffic and Parking Enforcement Solution (TAPES) will replace end‑of‑life traffic and parking enforcement assets and reduce regulatory burden through modern, integrated systems and services.
Reporting to the Executive Branch Manager Data, Projects and Improvement, the Program Delivery Lead (TAPES) leads a small team and is responsible for ensuring the TAPES program delivers outcomes that are commercially sound and operationally effective. In delivering these outcomes, the role is accountable for the execution of the program through to the commencement of operations, including establishing new services with external contractors.
To be successful, you will have a track record of delivering projects on time, to scope, and budget, and possess exceptional interpersonal, organisational and communication skills necessary to build rapport with a diverse range of stakeholders. Our ideal candidate is a senior leader with demonstrated experience delivering complex, high-risk customer-focused programs for Government, in collaboration with external contractors.
We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people with diverse thoughts, lived experience, and perspectives can thrive and contribute their unique talents to the ACTPS and ACT community. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, veterans, younger and older workers, and people with diverse genders, sexes and sexualities to apply.
