Head of Delivery, Consumer Platform

Nine is Australia’s largest locally owned media company. Working at Nine, you’ll have access to a unique range of experiences and opportunities, helping drive the success of the country’s most trusted television, radio, digital and publishing brands. 

Our content reaches almost every Australian - meaning what we do has real impact. We bring people together, celebrate the big moments, and capture the everyday ones.

Some of our most beloved brands have been part of Australian life for generations, and others - new on the scene - have already found their place firmly in our lives. We’re evolving and we need people like you to bring new ideas, innovate and make your mark.

Nine is seeking a Head of Delivery to lead the execution of a multi-year digital transformation: the Integrated Consumer Platform. You will act as the "operational engine," transitioning the business from brand-specific silos to a unified, horizontal ecosystem. Partnering with a Senior Program Manager, you will translate strategic goals into disciplined, predictable delivery. This role is based in our Sydney office.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Strategic Execution: Map delivery workstreams to business case milestones and ROI targets.

• Dependency Management: Orchestrate complex integrations across Data, Ad-Tech, Engineering, and Marketing.

• People Leadership: Lead and upskill a team of Delivery Managers, moving them from "scrum masters" to "delivery owners."

• Operational Excellence: Use data-driven metrics (Flow, Lead Time) to optimize workstreams and provide executive-level reporting.

• Pragmatic Governance: Implement "fit-for-purpose" delivery frameworks, balancing agile flexibility with the rigour needed for major migrations.

What You Bring:

• Proven Track Record: Extensive experience delivering large-scale software in high-traffic, complex environments.

• Transformation Experience: History of working with PMOs to execute formal business cases or digital roadmaps.

• Leadership: Experience managing delivery professionals and navigating organizational change.

• Operational Rigour: Obsessed with optimization and using data to diagnose systemic bottlenecks.

• Stakeholder Influence: Ability to manage competing priorities between Engineering, Product, and Commercial heads.
