This work underpins our vision for a connected, informed and entertained Australia.

Are you interested in helping inform decision making and operations at all levels with data that is discoverable, useable and safe? What about working to ensure that the vision outlined in the ACMA 2024-25 Data Strategy is delivered?
As the Data Platform Services Manager, you will lead the delivery of a modern, scalable data platform to meet the analytical and operational needs of the ACMA. You will provide technical leadership ensuring that the platform is optimised to meet business requirements, taking forward a program of work so that the platform can better enable the benefits of data management, self-service analytics and data science including contemporary ML/AI workflows.
This role combines strategic leadership with technical know-how. You will drive improvements in our data analytics platform architecture and tooling, ingestion frameworks, transformation pipelines, data governance, and proactively monitor and optimise platform performance and reliability.
An important focus will be to bring together data architecture, data engineering and data administration capabilities and lead the transition from outsourced to in-house resourcing. Key to success will be your ability to partner with internal stakeholders ensuring that the data analytics platform aligns with governance, architectural, security and best-practice standards.
With a forward-looking approach, you will ensure that the ACMA’s data platform is ready to take full advantage of new technical developments and opportunities. The role is funded to lead a major transformational project to enhance the ACMA’s cloud-based data analytics and reporting platform to provide contemporary data science and artificial intelligence capabilities.
