Overview
The City of Subiaco is seeking a Director Corporate Services to join its Executive Leadership Team and partner with the CEO and Council to strengthen financial sustainability, governance, asset optimisation, and organisation culture and performance, noting that Subiaco is an already high performing Western Australian Local Government.
This is a pivotal leadership role with a broad remit across finance, human resources, governance, commercial services and property. The Director will bring clear strategic thinking, contemporary people leadership and the discipline to turn strategy into streamlined systems, confident decision-making and great service outcomes.
