Regulator AFSA searching for new CIO

Financial regulator the Australian Financial Security Authority (AFSA) has embarked on a hunt for a new permanent CIO.

The agency, which manages personal insolvency and trustee issues as well as the national Personal Property Securities Register, has published a job ad on Seek calling for applications.

The successful candidate will report to the COO and help lead, develop and implement a technology-enabled digital transformation across the agency, the job listing states. Key responsibilities will be cybersecurity, platforms and services and enterprise architecture.

“As a key member of the senior executive team and a member of AFSA’s National Management Board, you will be responsible for aligning the strategic direction and all technology capability to successfully deliver business requirements and organisational outcomes including platforms and services, enterprise architecture, cyber security operations and enterprise systems,” the listing reads.

“You will have a focus on data, information, and performance in large scale and complex systems to better meet current and future business requirements.”

Applicants will need to have high-level management and leadership skills and a track record of leading large ICT operations divisions to a high standard.

AFSA has had an acting CIO since December 2014, Todd Porter, who assumed the role after it was vacated by former permanent CIO Kerrie Foster.
