Details: Are you an experienced finance professional looking to make a real impact in government?

Digital Canberra is seeking two motivated Assistant Directors to join our Strategic Finance team. These roles provide an opportunity to contribute to financial reporting, budgeting, capital management, and major government transformation initiatives.

We are looking for motivated finance professionals who can provide high-quality financial advice, analyse complex information, and build strong relationships with stakeholders. You will have experience in financial management, budgeting, reporting, or accounting, along with strong communication, problem-solving, and organisational skills. We value people who take initiative, enjoy working collaboratively, and can deliver results in a dynamic environment.

Join Digital Canberra and contribute to high-profile government initiatives that deliver real outcomes for the ACT community. You'll be part of a supportive and inclusive team, with flexible working arrangements, opportunities for professional development, and the chance to influence strategic financial decisions that help shape the future of digital government services.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people with diverse thoughts, lived experience, and perspectives can thrive and contribute their unique talents to the ACTPS and ACT community. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, veterans, younger and older workers, and people with diverse genders, sexes and sexualities to apply.

Notes: This is a temporary position available immediately until 30 June 2027 with the possibility of extension up to less than 12 months and/or permanency. A Merit Pool will be established from this selection process and will be used to fill vacancies over the next 12 months. This position has moved to a new workplace designed for activity-based working (ABW). Under ABW arrangements, officers will not have a designated workstation/desk. ACT Treasury supports flexible working arrangements and notes that during peak operational periods applicants may be required to work in the office and understand the role may involve regular weekend or after hours work during peak budget periods. Opportunities for flexible working options could include hybrid working, being a combination of working from home, designated office based and FlexiSpace working locations across the ACT, part-time hours, job-sharing, flexible start, and finish times.

How to Apply: Interested candidates are requested to submit a response of no more than two pages addressing the capabilities, outlining relevant skills and experience, as well as a current curriculum vitae and the name and contact details of two referees.

Applications should be submitted via the Apply Now button below.

Note: Under the ACTPS employment framework you may be placed in another role where required for the efficient administration of the service.

Where an offer of employment is for a fixed-term period, any related temporary contracts within the Territory will be issued in compliance with the requirements and applicable exceptions outlined in the Fair Work Act.

The ACT public service is committed to closing the gap, underpinned by the belief that when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a genuine say in the design and delivery of policies, programs and services that affect them, better life outcomes are achieved.
