Digital Project Manager

The Digital Experience Project is a transformative initiative by the agency, focused on enhancing how users, both internal and external, interact with our digital platforms and services. Central to the mission of modernising access to Australia's historical records, this project aims to deliver a more intuitive, efficient, and engaging experience for all users. It involves the development of a comprehensive service for searching and discovering the collection, supported by a centralised content management system that enables omnichannel publishing with personalised user experiences. A secure environment will allow external users to access services with ease. The project also introduces a unified payment system to streamline financial transactions, including donations, and memberships. Internally, it will consolidate and simplify systems and processes to improve operational efficiency and service delivery. The outcome will be a modern, user-friendly digital environment that supports streamlined services, robust search capabilities, and a consistent, high-quality digital experience.

The Digital Experience project aims to enhance the digital experience of users interaction by uplifting external and internal platforms.
