The department has aired an advertisment for the role on MyCareer, saying that successful applicants will need to have had experience in large and complex organisations.

Wilson, who served a five-year stint with the DET, declined to renew his contract in July.

During his tenure, Wilson oversaw DET's migration off Microsoft Exchange onto Gmail and the roll-out of the Federal Government's Digital Education Revolution.

The DET's current acting chief information officer is Marie Romero. The new CIO will be responsible for overseeing the technology needs of over 96,000 staff.

Based in Sydney, a contract of up to 5 years will be negotiated.
