The City of Melbourne is searching for a chief technology and information officer (CTIO) following a “recent transformation” of its enterprise technology services (ETS) branch.
The newly created role will bring together the leadership of the City’s recently re-organised enterprise technology services branch, iTnews understands.
Stacey O’Toole previously held the title of chief digital and technology officer for the City of Melbourne but left in October 2024.
The CTIO role will report directly to the local government authority for central Melbourne’s chief operating officer, Mans Bassi.
In a job posting, the Victorian capital said the ETS function is “improving our operating model to maximise the value” of its technology as it adopts “a customer-focused approach”.
The new alignment will see the City of Melbourne “provide modern digital tools and empower staff and the community to make informed decisions.”
“Our goal is to prepare City of Melbourne and Melbourne for the future, while providing staff with career-defining opportunities,” the listing states.
Meanwhile, Bassi said on LinkedIn that the City of Melbourne is “in the midst of a people-first transformation” with the CTIO playing a “key role…leading the use of technology to improve services, streamline operations, and enhance the city’s liveability.”
“By driving a clear technology strategy and adopting emerging tools like AI and IoT, the CTIO will help modernise business processes, enable smarter decision-making and foster innovation.”
