About Us
At the Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF), we’re building a world‑class Treasury for South Australia—one that’s innovative, collaborative, and future‑focused. We’re South Australia’s lead agency for economic, digital, and financial policy outcomes. Our work touches every corner of the state, from enabling frontline services to driving digital transformation. And we do it all with one purpose: to make life better for the people who call South Australia home.
Why This Role Matters
The Government’s primary financial management system Masterpiece, used by most SA Government agencies excluding SA Health, is over 30 years old and nearing the end of its service life. The Finance Reform Program is leading a major initiative to replace it with Oracle Fusion and implement best practice processes. This transformation will significantly change how finance functions are performed across agencies and affect a wide range of stakeholders, including finance, ICT, and operations teams. This role sits at the heart of a once‑in‑a‑generation financial transformation. Your work will help modernise how government manages assets, strengthen financial integrity, and support better decision‑making across South Australia’s public sector.

- Lead asset‑related design and solution development within a major whole‑of‑government finance transformation and Oracle Fusion Implementation
- Shape standardised, best‑practice financial processes that will be used across SA Government agencies
- Partner with agencies, program teams and vendors to deliver practical, future‑focused solutions
- Provide expert advice on asset accounting and practices
- Drive process improvement, efficiency and system‑enabled automation
- Contribute to policies, procedures and ways of working that support long‑term reform outcomes
Remuneration
