As our Revenue Reset Engagement Lead, you will lead the implementation of innovative, best-practice engagement strategies that enhance TasNetworks' profile and reputation. You will coordinate insights from engagement activities to directly inform regulatory decision-making, ensuring customer and stakeholder feedback is embedded in our proposal.
You will play a critical leadership role guiding and motivating a high-performing team in a fast-paced and evolving environment. You'll also provide trusted advice to senior executives and across the business on communication, engagement, corporate social responsibility, and regulatory engagement practices.
This role will see you identify, oversee, and optimise community engagement activities, while making strategic decisions to maximise the value of budget and resources. You'll lead talent development within your team and contribute to a culture of high performance, accountability, and continuous improvement.

You are a confident and capable leader who can motivate teams, shape business outcomes, and navigate complexity with clarity and purpose. Your interpersonal skills are highly developed, enabling you to engage effectively with stakeholders at all levels—internally and externally.
You have demonstrated experience in reputation management, regulatory or large-scale program engagement, and managing competing priorities with strong organisational discipline. You are comfortable operating in politically and commercially sensitive environments and can quickly build an understanding of industry dynamics.
A tertiary qualification in Communications, Public Relations, Political Science, Journalism, or a related field is preferred, along with the ability to manage change and lead through ambiguity in a complex and evolving landscape.
