At the heart of this sector is a dynamic agency that works across industry, community, and government to drive growth, sustainability, and resilience.
We are seeking an executive leader to join the leadership team in one of the state's most strategically significant roles.

* Represent the state at the highest levels from state to national forums, negotiations, and industry boards.
* Provide leadership across designated areas, ensuring we are agile, future-focused, and making impact.
We are looking for a leader who combines:
* Strong political acumen and ability to navigate complex environments.
* Executive-level experience within government or closely regulated sectors.
* Emergency response and recovery capability — adept at responding to natural disasters, biosecurity risks, or industry shocks.
* Credibility and presence to engage stakeholders and influence decision-makers.
This role will suit established leaders ready for a larger platform or contemporary executives seeking to step into a leadership position with breadth, impact, and visibility.
