GM Transformation and Digital

Mō mātou | About Us

Whānau Āwhina Plunket is Aotearoa New Zealand’s largest provider of Well Child Tamariki Ora services, supporting the health and development of tamariki and their whānau from birth to five years.  We are present in communities across the motu, with a workforce of nurses, health workers, community kaimahi and support teams delivering services every day.

With a bold new strategy about to be launched, we are entering a period of organisational change.  We are strengthening our services, our systems, and our ways of working to deliver a genuinely connected, equitable experience for every whānau we serve.  As a result, this new ELT position has been created to bring deep expertise in both transformation and technology/digital.

Mō tēnei tūranga mahi | About this role

As GM Transformation and Digital, you will sit on the ELT and provide organisation-wide leadership of transformation and change, digital, ICT, data and insights, and service design.

This is firstly a transformation leadership role, but technology expertise is equally important. You will set the direction for how we transform, leading the sequencing, governance, and delivery of a complex, organisation-wide programme of work.

Your key accountabilities will include:

• Leading organisation-wide transformation, improving navigation, and responsiveness for whānau and kaimahi and supporting innovation and growth.
• Digital and ICT leadership.  Overseeing digital platforms, ICT operations, cyber security, and the investment roadmap, including a review of Plunket’s core technology platform.
• AI strategy and governance.  Leading the development and responsible, ethical adoption of AI, with explicit attention to issues of bias and data sovereignty.
• Data and insights.  Building enterprise data capability to underpin equity-focused decision-making across the organisation.
• Whānau experience and service integration.  Leading the design of integrated, end-to-end whānau and kaimahi journeys across clinical, operational, and digital functions

You will lead a multidisciplinary team of approximately 30, with key direct report leads based in Wellington and Christchurch.
