Join Alliance Automation — Where Top Performers Build Real Careers

We’re transforming Australian industry through smart automation, secure digital solutions, and engineering excellence.

This is your opportunity to lead and shape the enterprise technology backbone of a growing national business — driving secure, scalable, high-performing systems that enable real operational outcomes.

At Alliance Automation, we back high performers with the tools, support, and autonomy to deliver.

What’s in it for you

Career Growth That’s Real

Structured development, ongoing training, and clear progression pathways — we invest in leaders who make an impact.

Strong, Supportive Team

A high-performing, collaborative environment built on trust, accountability, and mutual respect.

Competitive Rewards

• Strong salary aligned to experience
• Generous professional development investment
• Paid parental leave
• 20 days annual leave + option to purchase up to 4 additional weeks
• Flexible working arrangements

The Opportunity

This isn’t an IT support role hiding behind a leadership title — this is a true enterprise systems leadership position, responsible for shaping and elevating the technology backbone of the business.

You’ll take ownership of Alliance Automation’s enterprise systems, infrastructure, and internal IT function — ensuring our platforms are secure, scalable, and aligned to business outcomes.

This is a role for someone who knows how to balance strategic direction with hands-on delivery — leading teams, driving standards, and lifting capability across the organisation.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead the design, implementation, and optimisation of enterprise platforms
• Own and drive cybersecurity, governance, and compliance frameworks (e.g. Essential Eight)
• Lead and develop a high-performing internal IT team and support function
• Ensure systems are secure, reliable, and fit-for-purpose across national operations
• Drive continuous improvement, automation, and system standardisation
• Partner with business leaders to align technology with operational and commercial outcomes
• Own IT risk, business continuity, and disaster recovery planning

What Sets You Apart

• Proven experience leading enterprise systems and internal IT functions
• Strong capability across architecture, systems integration, and infrastructure
• Commercial mindset — you understand how technology drives business performance
• Confident operating across strategy and execution
• Able to influence at all levels — from technical teams through to senior leadership
• Proactive, accountable, and comfortable owning outcomes end-to-end

Why This Role Stands Out

Enterprise technology is a critical enabler of Alliance Automation’s next phase of growth — and this role sits at the centre of it.

You’ll step into:

• A genuine ownership role — not just maintaining systems, but shaping them
• A business investing in secure, scalable, future-ready platforms
• The opportunity to modernise and uplift enterprise capability
• Strong leadership backing with autonomy to make meaningful change

The Bottom Line

If you can lead enterprise systems with authority, balance strategy with delivery, and build an environment that enables performance — this is a role where you can have real impact.
