A bit about your role

Broadband connectivity is essential for social prosperity and economic productivity. Fibre offers a faster and more reliable connection, providing a stable, secure, and resilient experience that benefits consumers and retail partners. For the nation, fibre's speed and reliability enhance opportunities and productivity for industries, businesses, and communities. Today, approximately 5 million homes and businesses across Australia have (or will shortly have) the ability to upgrade from legacy copper to full fibre. And this role is key to delivering this game changing program.

The General Manager Fibre Upgrades will define and drive the customer strategy and product experience for fibre upgrades. This role involves ensuring smooth and effective processes for moving customers to fibre, collaborating with retail service providers to deliver a consistent experience across various premises types, including free-standing homes, multi-dwelling units, and commercial premises.

Your role will be accountable for leading the nbn's Fibre Upgrade program, a critical element of the network's evolution, delivering superior broadband connectivity to over 5 million premises. You will lead the strategy to drive upgrade demand and make key decisions to support Australia's fibre migration. This role requires collaboration within the Customer team, across the broader nbn, particularly with Operations and Networks, and with external industry stakeholders.

A bit about you

Ideally you will have experience managing complex programs and initiatives, including the ability to deliver large scale change initiatives.

This role relies heavily on strong communication and influencing skills to be successful, so the right candidate will have the ability to foster collaborative working environments and teams, as well as being an outstanding leader of senior and experienced teams. Your ability to span from customer requirements and needs, understanding the wholesale environment and enablement, all the way to influencing operational execution and performance is a blend of capability that distinguishes you as the perfect candidate for this role.

Are you ready to leverage your diverse experience in a dynamic role? We are seeking a professional with a strong background in the telecommunications industry. Your ability to influence and collaboratively solve challenges for both our business and customers will distinguish you as an ideal candidate. Join us and make a significant impact!
