IT Manager
  
Just Digital People are exclusively partnering with a great business based in Melbourne CBD. We are looking for a seasoned IT Manager on a permanent basis. This is a fantastic role for a Manager that wants to take ownership of IT direction and decision making on business-critical projects.

What do they do? They are one of Australia’s largest private timber plantation companies.  The business operates across geographical, forestry and plantation resources. Their mission is to manage the plantation estate in a safe and sustainable way to optimise the return to their investors, whilst balancing the needs of their employees, customers, and local communities.
  
You will be overseeing a small IT function within a large wider organisation. The IT team consists of 3 permanent staff and up to 5 contracting resources at any given time. Reporting into the General Manager and working closely with their sister businesses you will be well-positioned to make key changes and implement IT strategy to achieve business goals.
  
What key technical areas will you be focusing on?
  • Networking & Operations
  • High availability, virtualised servers
  • Cyber Security
  
If you have experience with GIS systems, I want to hear from you. Major bonus points!
  
Responsibilities Include:
  • Responsible for providing oversight and direction to the IT Team on strategy, standards, good industry practice, and opportunities for introducing more efficient outcomes.
  • Design and delivery of IT capabilities across the business across data analytics, business intelligence, development and support, infrastructure, security and technical services
  • Work with key stakeholders across the business and support continuous improvement and sustainability
  • Maintain strong and productive relationships with all business unit leaders to support business development and improvement.
  • Drive efficient and effective operation of ICT infrastructure, including:
  • - Negotiation of contracts with ICT infrastructure and communications providers;
  • - Review of future requirements for IT infrastructure and communications, and evaluation and recommendation of options
  • - Management of provision of ICT maintenance and support, including a responsive and effective Helpdesk
  • Prepare an annual budget for the ICT portfolio and delivers on that budget.
  
What about you as a Leader?
  • You will provide exceptional feedback and communication to the team across both technical and general expectations to meet business goals
  • Well versed in setting clear and informative tasks
  • Work well with your team, as well as building strong relationships across the wider business
  • Manage and drive the team to meet business KPI’s and targets
  • Patience! Not everything can be done at 110MPH, patience to get processes moving in the right way at the right time
  • Ensure that you are on hand to answer questions and solve complex problems – not just asking the team to use Dr Google
  • Be an all-round caring human, who enjoys seeing others succeed
  
Benefits & Perks:
  • Yearly $$ bonuses
  • Mobile Phone & Laptop
  • Travel Pool Cars
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Internal Training

As a heads up, there will be travel required with this role, a lot of travel to rural Victoria, as well as limited interstate travel. Cars are provided as well as a travel budget of course!  
  
I could go on and on about this role, it’s a cracker! This role will be a fantastic move for someone with the above skill set who wants to work in a flexible and family orientated business.
  
If you think you hit the mark on this role, get in touch! I would love to chat with you further.
