AUD $240,000–300,000 + Bonus + LTIP
Open to Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney based candidates


Build a high-impact ICT function from scratch, backed by full financial scope and executive-level trust. You’ll own the strategy, structure and standards - and shape the team culture from day one.

This is a greenfield leadership opportunity in a mission-critical environment. You’ll define the roadmap, build the team, and lead across corporate IT, operational technology and cybersecurity. With full budget ownership and direct board access, you’ll have real influence on how the business scales across multiple APAC markets.

Work alongside a highly experienced data centre leadership team. Their track record means you’ll be supported by people who’ve successfully built and scaled hyperscale platforms before. This isn’t a speculative startup - it’s a well-funded, client-backed platform with a clear growth trajectory.

Gain exposure to high growth markets like Australia, Japan and India, expanding your regional influence and opening doors to future senior leadership roles across the Asia-Pacific region.

What you’ll do
  • Establish and lead the corporate ICT function across multiple APAC office locations, covering service desk, end-user computing, M365, identity and access management, and enterprise networking.
  • Own the OT network and supporting IT platforms within each data centre campus, integrating with BMS, SCADA, EPMS, and facility infrastructure in partnership with engineering and operations teams.
  • Lead the business to ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 Type II attestation, and maintain the ISMS on an ongoing basis. Define and maintain the ICT and OT technology strategy, architecture, and multi-year roadmap.
  • Manage the ICT budget across OpEx and CapEx. Select and manage strategic vendors and MSPs. Recruit, develop, and lead a distributed ICT team across Australia, Singapore, and broader APAC. 
What you’ll need
  • 15+ years in ICT roles with at least 5 years in a senior leadership position
  • Experience owning both corporate IT and operational technology in a mission-critical or 24x7 infrastructure environment
  • Strong cybersecurity credentials, CISSP or equivalent preferred
About the company 

A well capitalised hyperscale data centre developer and operator, backed by a leading Asian infrastructure investor with strong exposure to digital and renewable energy assets.

The business develops and operates large-scale campus developments for hyperscale and neocloud customers across the Asia-Pacific region, with an active pipeline spanning Australia, Japan, India, and broader APAC.
