The “director, Office of the Chief Information and Data Officer (OCIO)” will “lead a team that drives the strategic development and implementation of tactical plans and initiatives that strengthens, supports and manages the high-level services, communications, and strategies,” according to the department’s recruitment ad.
The newly created position “has been established to support our new digital strategy and in acknowledgement of the expanding digital demands across the education cluster,” a departmental spokeswoman.
The spokesperson continued, “The strategy lays out the course and significant investment necessary to transform the department into a modern hybrid education system, enabled by technology, data, and services.
The position will assist the department’s chief information officer Sandie Matthews, who is coordinating the strategy’s implementation and working with all the organisations in the NSW Education cluster.
Financial modelling, procurement monitoring, workforce capacity and capability, and governance are among the duties.
