Lead the Systems That Drive Strategic Execution

We’re looking for an EPMO Systems Lead to take ownership of the tools, templates, and reporting that support our enterprise-wide program and project portfolio management. This role is a key enabler in connecting strategy to execution, ensuring our systems and reporting create insights to support clear decision-making, effective prioritisation, and efficient delivery.

You’ll play a central role in refining enterprise planning practices, managing portfolio data from enterprise toolsets (Jira, SAP BP, Microsoft suite), and building reporting for Governance Committees. This role is part of our Strategy & Enterprise Performance team, which operates cross-functionally across Chorus to support strategic delivery. It’s ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex problems, thrives in evolving environments, and brings strong systems thinking, analytical capability, and stakeholder engagement skills.
