#Acareerthatmatters. #Acontributionthatcounts.
This is not a traditional corporate services role. The portfolio has been deliberately designed to strengthen organisational cadence, assurance and execution across the department, ensuring enabling functions operate as integrated, system level contributors rather than siloed service areas. A key focus of the role is elevating the impact, visibility and strategic value of corporate services across the department and the broader public sector through a cohesive and influential communications approach.
About The Role
Reporting to the Director-General, this strategic leadership role drives organisational performance, aligning corporate functions and elevating communications to enhance clarity, impact, and public sector influence.
Working Closely With The Executive Leadership Team, You Will
* Drive organisational success by aligning corporate functions to deliver Government commitments and goals.
* Enhance performance frameworks by ensuring robust governance, risk, and compliance to deliver impactful outcomes. Provide trusted strategic advice to the Director-General and executive leaders.
* Lift organisational capability and consistency without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy.
* Strengthen strategic communications across the department and wider public sector, ensuring clear, consistent and influential messaging that elevates the role and impact of corporate services internally and externally.
* Support a high performing culture aligned to public sector values and expectations.
* Ensure governance, risk and compliance frameworks provide confidence on delivery and outcomes.
Success in the role will be reflected in stronger enterprise alignment, clearer accountability for delivery and a reset of corporate services as a strategic enabler of departmental performance.
What We're Looking For
You will bring
* A proven track record leading broad enabling or corporate portfolios within large, complex organisations.
* Experience establishing operating models, performance frameworks or enterprise delivery disciplines.
* Strong executive judgement and the ability to balance governance rigour with organisational agility.
* Credibility as a trusted adviser to CEOs, Director-Generals or Boards.
* The ability to influence and align executive stakeholders toward shared outcomes.
* Experience leading cultural and workforce uplift in complex environments.
* Strategic digital and data literacy, with a focus on practical enablement rather than technical delivery.
* Experience operating in high profile environments, bringing clarity, structure and alignment while maintaining momentum and engagement across the organisation.
