About The Role:
The Manager Business Improvement leads the Department of Finance’s (Finance) efforts to apply fundamental principles of continuous improvement across end-to-end processes and programs. The role provides specialist advice in business improvement principles and tools and on preparation of business frameworks and systems which align with department and directorate strategy. The role is also responsible for initiation of business improvement programs based on best practice techniques to ensure optimal and efficient customer service delivery.
About You:
As the Manager Business Improvement, you will be inquisitive and analytical, keen to identify opportunities to make improvements and skilled at leveraging data to identify and resolve problems.

This position operates in the context of Leading Others. This means that you will motivate and enable others to deliver high quality work. You will balance time between doing the work and coaching, guiding and developing others.
