The Opportunity

Join ElectraNet at a pivotal time as they lead South Australia’s clean energy transition, stepping into a highly influential Data & AI Governance Lead role.

This position offers the opportunity to design and embed a modern, decision centric governance model that shapes how data and AI are used across the enterprise.

You will work closely with senior leaders, technology teams and AI practitioners to drive clarity, trust and accountability in decision-making.

The role is highly strategic, focused on enabling better business outcomes through governed data assets and responsible AI practices.

It is ideal for someone who thrives on influencing at scale, balancing governance with innovation, and embedding lasting organisational change.

• Establish and sustain data, AI and decision governance structures aligned to business objectives.
• Clarify ownership, accountability and controls across data assets, AI models and automated decision systems.
• Work across business and technology teams to shape governance practices and decision-making on AI usage.
• Define governance expectations including oversight, monitoring, and accountability for AI models and agents.
• Integrate governance into business-as-usual processes, enabling value rather than constraining delivery.

About You

You are a confident and pragmatic data or AI governance professional who thrives on influencing at the enterprise level and driving meaningful organisational change.

With proven experience designing and embedding governance frameworks, you ensure governance enables rather than slows innovation.

You bring strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to partner with senior leaders and translate complex concepts into practical, business-ready approaches.

Your expertise in data, AI models and decision frameworks allows you to build trust, accountability and transparency across the organisation.

Most importantly, you’re passionate about shaping how data and AI are responsibly used to drive better decisions and outcomes.

• Demonstrated experience designing and embedding governance frameworks and operating models.
• Proven ability to engage and influence senior leaders across business and technology.
• Ability to define governance, accountability and controls for AI models and agents.
• Experience with enterprise data models, catalogues and governance artefacts.
• Ability to design governance that enables outcomes, not just compliance.

Qualifications

• Relevant tertiary qualification in information management, technology, data, engineering, governance or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.
