Technical Writer, Finance Reform Program

Description:

The Department of Treasury and Finance is the lead agency for economic, digital and financial policy outcomes. We play a vital role in providing financial services to the community and economic and fiscal policy advice as well as digital services to the Government of South Australia.

The Government’s main financial management system (FMS) Masterpiece, used by the majority of SA Government Agencies (excluding SA Health), was implemented 30 years ago and is reaching the end of its useful life. The Finance Reform Program (FRP) is leading a significant program for State Government to implement Oracle and best practice processes. The program will fundamentally change the way finance activities are performed across all in-scope Agencies and impact a broad range of stakeholders, including financial, ICT and operational teams.

About the opportunity:

The Technical Writer will play a fundamental role in the Finance Reform Program. With an opportunity to align the future structure of procedural documentation to Oracle modules and best practice processes, the Technical Writer will execute the rewriting and updating of procedural documentation artefacts.

Key elements of the Technical Writer role include:

• Analyse and review all existing procedural documentation which references Masterpiece and provide recommendations on how to streamline, prioritise and consolidate existing documentation.
• Collaborating with a multi-disciplinary team to document the Policy and Procedure suite for Oracle Modules and processes.

This is an opportunity to be involved in one of the largest system implementation and process change projects that South Australia has ever seen. Joining the team has many benefits in terms of career development.

Special Conditions:

Full Time role available, 12 months initially with the possibility to extend.

Some out of hours work may be required. Intrastate and interstate travel may be required. The incumbent may be required to be assigned to another position at the same classification level across the Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF).

The successful applicant will be required to obtain and maintain a satisfactory SAPOL Clearance or General Employment Probity Check as directed by Shared Services SA.

Shared Services will initiate appropriate background screenings for successful applicants at Shared Services SA’s expense. Applicants should not initiate their own screening checks or clearances and doing so will not entitle the applicant to reimbursement from Shared Services SA of costs incurred.
