Australian Naval Infrastructure (ANI) is a Commonwealth-owned enterprise driving the future of Australia’s naval shipbuilding. Based at Osborne, South Australia, ANI develops and manages world-class infrastructure supporting major defence programs, including the Hunter-class frigates and AUKUS nuclear-powered submarines.
ANI plays a vital role in delivering cutting-edge facilities that enable sovereign shipbuilding, industry growth, and national security. Join ANI and help build the future of Australia’s naval capability.
Role Overview
Reporting to the Head of Information, this is a senior role responsible for leading the uplift of ANI’s records and information management capability across the organisation.
Operating within the ANI Nuclear Stewardship program, a key priority will be leading the deployment of a new Electronic Document and Records Management System (EDRMS) and embedding its use across the business.
A core focus of the role will be driving smarter, more effective use of ANI’s enterprise EDRMS and associated records platforms, ensuring the system is embedded into how the business operates, not treated as a compliance exercise. You will influence behaviours, improve processes and help teams use information more effectively to support delivery, risk management and decision making.
This role is about leadership, adoption and impact, not just maintaining a records function.
About the Person
You are a confident, credible operator who can influence at all levels and bring people on the journey.
You understand how to translate records and information governance into practical business value. You are comfortable challenging existing ways of working, improving system use, and helping teams operate more efficiently through better information discipline.
You know how to get the best out of enterprise EDRMS platforms and embed them in a way that feels natural, useful and sustainable for the organisation.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and uplift ANI’s enterprise records and information management framework
- Lead the deployment and organisational adoption of a new EDRMS
- Partner with leaders to embed strong information governance into everyday business operations
- Oversee lifecycle management of physical and digital records
- Improve how information is captured, structured and used across the organisation
- Monitor compliance with legislative, regulatory and governance requirements
- Provide guidance, coaching and training to build organisational capability
- Contribute to broader transformation initiatives linked to ANI’s Nuclear Stewardship program
- Demonstrated experience leading records or information governance in complex environments
- Experience implementing or uplifting an EDRMS
- Experience with Objective or similar EDRMS platforms highly regarded
- Proven ability to influence behaviours and embed system use across an organisation
- Experience driving change and improving business processes through better information management
- Knowledge of National Archives requirements and regulated environments desirable
- Experience in defence, government or adjacent sectors highly regarded
- Australian citizenship and ability to obtain NV1 clearance
Culture of the business:
ANI operates in a fast paced, delivery focused environment where collaboration, accountability and continuous improvement are valued. This role will play a visible part in shaping how information is managed across the organisation and will influence how teams work, make decisions and deliver outcomes. You'll be supported by forward thinking leaders in a culture that values transparency, continuous improvement, and resilience.
