Strategic Growth Director - Environmental Planning (Energy)

**About the role**

The Collaboration Centre is a critical component of the ITS Operating Model, and an enabler for the Technology Strategy in AMP8 and beyond. It brings together the historically separate worlds of change / project delivery and IT service and operations into one multidisciplinary team responsible for the complete end to end business service for a given technology platform or group of applications.

Working as a multidisciplined member of the Specialist Applications CC, you will report to the Senior Product Owner.

The Product Owner role is accountable for ensuring that SA CC initiatives continues to align with business strategy and best practices.

You will need to engage in negotiation with business areas and resolve conflict where there is a lack of clarity around the strategic priority of requirements to be delivered. You will be required to manage and lead by influence, rather than direct control.

You will need to work with stakeholders all over the business, from director level to front line staff, technical and non-technical and be comfortable communicating confidently at all levels, facilitating discussion and negotiation priorities with restricted resources.

You will be accountable and empowered to make quick, in the moment decisions which can have a significant impact on your colleagues and be able to quickly justify and explain the rationale for these decisions.

*   Define and implement stakeholder management strategies to ensure that all business stakeholders, from all areas of the business remain engaged and that they are continually informed of progress of products and features on the specialist applications backlog schedule.
*   Develop a process by which to assess priority of demand based on forecast business benefit to ensure that we are delivering initiatives in the correct order, that delivers the most value for money for the business
*   Lead and challenge business stakeholders to define a Minimum Viable Products (MVP) for initiatives so that we only delivery high value requirements and minimise wasted effort.
*   Act as a Subject Matter Expert across the business and lead the organisation in defining application principles and procedures and ensuring that these are adhered to. Represent the applications team at internal and external forums.
*   Lead and coach others on Agile ways of working and principles to ensure that business value is delivered often and value for money is achieved. Challenge stakeholders on their behaviors when they do not align with these principles.
*   Ensure that initiatives are delivered in adherence to the principles and governance established by SA CC
*   Lead in the identification and definition of benefits associated with initiatives you are working on and work with the Senior Product Owner to ensure that these benefits are tracked and reported to support the continual improvement of products and services across the business.
*   Challenge business stakeholders to ensure that benefits associated with initiative’s and requirements are clearly defined and aligned with business objectives and strategy, rejecting any requirements which do not meet these requirements and providing rationale for this decision.
*   Lead on implementation Go/No Go decisions during deployment to Production, and sign-off of Test Exit Reports.
*   Managing all demands/requests through ServiceNow and Azure DevOps for the specialist applications backlog.
*   Contribute to Scrum ceremonies and take ownership of Product Owner Scrum Artefacts
