Enterprise Applications Lead – Finance & HR

Finance & HRIS Platforms Lead — Melbourne — $170,000 + super

Platform leads carry the technical depth to run an entire organisation's systems. Most are still asking permission to make a routine call. Why?

Here, you'll earn $170,000 + super, plus an extra week of annual leave on top of standard entitlements, and free tickets to major sporting events throughout the year, if you're into that kind of thing. 

But it's not just the money or the perks. In this role, you're not the person who implements what's been decided elsewhere, you're the person deciding. 

Access controls, testing and release practices, what gets simplified, automated or replaced across the platform stack: that's yours to call, not yours to escalate. 

Your experience stops being something that executes someone else's roadmap and starts being what actually sets it.

This is a well-known national organisation pulling HR, Finance, CRM, Performance, and Cloud platforms out of silos. 

You'd own the Finance & HRIS side specifically: think Workday, TM1, Cognos, Concur, D365 or similar, plus the integrations that connect them.

If you stayed where you are, you'd likely still be running the same platforms under the same constraints in a few years' time, waiting on the same approvals. 

Move here, and you'd have spent that time rebuilding a fragmented five-platform environment into one coherent, modern stack, with your name on the decisions that got it there, and the results to point to.

That matters for where this goes next. This organisation is growing, and platform unification is only the start of it, the trajectory from here is toward a Head of Technology remit, for the person who actually owns this transformation rather than just maintains it. 

You're not applying for a support role with a ceiling. You're applying to be the one who builds the case for what comes after this job, because you'll be the one who can prove it worked.

You'd also have people actively wanting you to push. 

Senior leadership is driving AI-enabled ways of working and backing people who'll challenge a comfortable, long-tenured status quo. If you've spent years trying to modernise a legacy stack while everyone around you quietly defended it, that's not a battle you'll have here.

Good fit if you've got 8+ years across Finance/HRIS platforms and business process/data management, strong hands-on systems administration experience, and a track record of fixing the actual problem rather than the symptom.

Send your CV through, or me a message, happy to talk specifics before anything formal.
