About the position

Reporting to the Chief Information Officer (CIO), the Service Manager leads a skilled and passionate team across IT operations, information management, and customer experience. You’ll be responsible for delivering stable, secure, and continually improving infrastructure and systems, while championing a customer-first culture across the organisation.

You’ll work closely with the CIO, internal leaders, and key stakeholders to ensure the City’s technology investments support both day-to-day operations and long-term strategic goals.

This is a leadership role with impact — helping shape how we serve our staff and community in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

About You

You’re a people-first leader who builds strong teams and fosters a safe, high-performing workplace culture. You care deeply about outcomes, both for your team and for the community, and you understand that great leadership is about trust, clarity, and creating space for others to succeed.

You bring experience across one or more areas like IT operations, customer experience, or information management, but you also recognise that you don’t need to be the expert in everything. You lead with humility, and curiosity, leaning on your team’s strengths while focusing on aligning efforts to a clear vision and purpose.

You value culture, communication, and collaboration as highly as technical skills. You know that skills can be developed, but shared values and a strong leadership mindset are foundational. You bring professional judgement, a commitment to continuous improvement, and the ability to inspire people to bring their best every day.

Salary and Benefits

We’re offering a range of great benefits:
