Solutions Champion

Auckland Libraries is planning for a significant transformation of its public computing service across the region. With discovery well underway and a preferred direction identified, we are now seeking a Solutions Champion to focus on implementation‑led activity: refining details, confirming requirements, and planning and delivering a new public computing solution that supports equity, access, and inclusion for all Aucklanders. This role is about turning defined intent into a workable, deliverable, enterprise‑ready solution — ensuring nothing important is missed as the work moves from concept into practice.

He angitūtanga: The opportunity - About the role

As Solutions Champion – Public Computing, you will be responsible for leading the implementation phase of a region‑wide transformation project. The strategic direction is largely set; your contribution will be to bring rigour, structure, and clarity to the planning, sequencing, and execution of the work. This is not a deeply technical role. It is suited to someone who understands how complex organisations deliver change, and who can keep a strong focus on business needs, practical detail, and outcomes.
