About Us

Picture a career that’s more than numbers. At the Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF), we’re building a world‑class Treasury for South Australia—one that’s innovative, collaborative, and future‑focused.

We’re South Australia’s lead agency for economic, digital, and financial policy outcomes. Our work touches every corner of the state, from enabling frontline services to driving digital transformation. And we do it all with one purpose: to make life better for the people who call South Australia home.

Why This Role Matters

 The Government’s primary financial management system Masterpiece, used by most SA Government agencies excluding SA Health, is over 30 years old and nearing the end of its service life. The Finance Reform Program is leading a major initiative to replace it with Oracle and implement best practice processes. This transformation will significantly change how finance functions are performed across agencies and affect a wide range of stakeholders, including finance, ICT, and operations teams.

As a Test Coordinator, you’ll help drive this transformation by supporting the system replacement and improving financial service delivery through greater efficiency and automation. 

About the Opportunity

You’ll support the delivery of South Australia’s new financial management system by coordinating testing activities across a large‑scale reform program. Your work will help ensure new systems are reliable, fit‑for‑purpose and ready to support government services that matter to South Australia.

In this role, you will:

• Support quality testing to ensure new financial systems work as intended.
• Coordinate testing activities across system, integration and UAT phases.
• Collaborate with technical and business stakeholders to deliver effective solutions.
• Identify and manage defects, risks and issues, escalating where needed.
• Apply strong analytical and problem‑solving skills to recommend practical solutions.
• Contribute to a major finance transformation shaping how SA Government delivers services.

Remuneration

ASO6 ($102,171 - $108,071 p.a.) + 12% Superannuation

About You

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Apply finance process knowledge to support future‑state systems in complex environments.
• Solve complex problems confidently, using strong analytical and critical thinking skills.
• Work autonomously and adapt to change, managing priorities and meeting deadlines.
• Analyse information and provide clear advice, both verbally and in writing.
• Engage effectively with stakeholders, connecting technical teams and business users.
• Bring sound testing and IT knowledge, including defect tools and strong Microsoft Office skills.
