National Heavy Vehicle Regulator
The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) was established through the consolidation of state and territory heavy vehicle regulatory functions to create a nationally consistent regulator.
Having successfully established these foundations, NHVR is now entering its next phase of evolution – using digital capability, data and intelligence to deliver safer roads, stronger industry outcomes and more effective regulation.
The Role
Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Executive Leadership Team, the Chief Digital and Transformation Officer will occupy one of NHVR’s most influential enterprise-shaping roles. You will lead the Digital & Technology function while working across the organisation, governments, jurisdictions and industry to ensure digital investment supports NHVR’s future regulatory strategy and Operating Model.
The mandate extends well beyond the leadership of technology. This is an opportunity to shape how NHVR operates as a contemporary regulator, strengthen enterprise delivery and position digital, data, artificial intelligence and automation as critical enablers of regulatory effectiveness and organisational performance.
About You
- You will be an accomplished enterprise executive and transformation leader who can connect regulatory strategy, business and process redesign, digital platforms, data and technology.
- You will bring the credibility to engage with the Board, executive leaders, governments, regulators, industry and technical stakeholders, translating complexity into clear direction and aligning parties with different priorities, interests and systems.
- You understand how to translate digital capability and intelligence into stronger frontline regulatory and operational outcomes.
- You bring the governance and delivery discipline to prioritise investment, strengthen execution and ensure transformation delivers measurable benefits for NHVR, industry and the broader national regulatory system.
- Your experience leading digital and technology-enabled transformation within government, regulatory or highly regulated environments will be complemented by your judgement and stakeholder sophistication to navigate multi-jurisdictional governance and influence beyond your direct authority.
- Demonstrated capability spanning major digital portfolios, data and intelligence, AI adoption, legacy modernisation or multi-party platform transitions will also be highly regarded.
