Manager, Business Technology Partnerships

We are looking for a curious and driven individual with a passion for emerging technology to lead key initiatives that support STB's tourism innovation efforts. Tcube, or the Tourism Technology Transformation cube, brings STB's digital initiatives, resources and thought-leadership content onto a single platform to support our sector's digital transformation.

In this role, you will be our resident expert on robotics and its application to the tourism sector, with a particular focus on hotels. This means staying deeply informed on robotics developments, understanding the policy landscape, and building the right networks across government agencies and industry partners to ensure STB is well-positioned to support wide-scale robotics adoption in tourism. Beyond robotics, you will lead an experimental track that explores nascent and emerging technologies, working with industry stakeholders and government partners to test new solutions and secure the necessary funding and collaboration agreements to bring these pilots to life.

You will also engage closely with key industry forerunners and internal line units - harnessing the expertise and influence of the former to drive broader technology adoption across the sector, whilst advising the latter on how technology can meaningfully support their plans and priorities.

Success in this role means being the go-to person for robotics and deep technology within the team, building strong relationships across the whole-of-government ecosystem, and translating your knowledge into practical recommendations and pilots that move the needle on tech adoption in tourism. This position requires someone who is intellectually curious, genuinely passionate about technology and its possibilities, proactive in building networks, and comfortable operating across both strategic and operational work.
