• Lead organisational readiness planning and implementation to prepare Council for upcoming ERP phases.
• Assisting and leading transformation initiatives that can be delivered collaboratively with other Councils, particularly the Eastern Region Group of Councils, by identifying and delivering on shared service/procurement opportunities.
