Jemena seeks IT strategy manager

Victorian energy utility Jemena has advertised for a permanent IT strategy manager, with a projected salary of between $180,000 and $200,000, plus bonus.

The utility has a diversified portfolio of investments around the state and beyond, including investments in gas and electricity and even recycled water.

According to an advertisement placed on Seek, the new IT strategy manager will be responsible for developing long-term IT strategies for the utility, liaising with the business and "ensuring that the systems provided by Jemena's IT service provider align with business requirements, enterprise architecture standards, IT principles, policies and standards".

The utility is particularly looking for experience delivering SAP-based projects.

A spokesperson for Jemena could not immediately comment on whether the role was a new one or whether an existing executive had left the utility, or what projects the new staffer would be involved in. However, Jemena is known to be preparing for a roll-out of smart metering technology, a project in which Accenture is believed to be involved.
