You will lead Delta’s Technology function, translating business strategy and operational needs into clear technology priorities and ensuring our systems, infrastructure and digital capability support safe, reliable and efficient operations.

Working closely with leaders across Delta, you’ll bring a whole-of-business perspective to technology — balancing transformation and innovation with the reliability, security and risk disciplines required in a critical infrastructure environment.

You will:

What you’ll bring

You’re an experienced technology leader who combines strong technology capability with highly effective people and business leadership. You can see the bigger picture, create clear direction and translate business priorities into technology outcomes, while understanding the practical realities of supporting a complex operational business.

You lead through others, creating clarity and accountability, empowering people to take ownership and building the capability of your team. You set high standards, provide honest and constructive feedback and address issues when required, while creating an environment where people feel trusted, supported and able to perform at their best.

You’ll bring:

• A visible, authentic and values-led leadership style that builds trust, creates clarity and holds people accountable for outcomes.
• Demonstrated success building, developing and leading high-performing teams through coaching, feedback, empowerment and meaningful delegation.
• The ability to empower others to make decisions and take ownership, while maintaining clear accountability for performance and outcomes.
• Strong stakeholder leadership and influencing skills, with the ability to build trusted partnerships across operational, corporate and senior leadership teams.
• The confidence to challenge the status quo constructively, address difficult issues and lead people through change with resilience and clarity.
• A collaborative, whole-of-business mindset and the ability to work across functional boundaries to achieve shared outcomes.
• Strong commercial judgement and the ability to balance transformation and innovation with operational reliability, cybersecurity, risk and business priorities.
• The ability to translate complex technology matters into clear business implications, choices and recommendations.

You’ll ideally have

• Significant senior technology leadership experience within a complex organisation, ideally within energy, mining, infrastructure, industrial or another asset-intensive environment.
• Broad experience across technology operations, infrastructure, enterprise applications, cybersecurity, digital transformation and major technology projects.
• Demonstrated experience translating business strategy and operational requirements into practical technology roadmaps and priorities.
• Strong knowledge of contemporary cybersecurity, technology risk, governance, resilience and business continuity.
