In this role, you will:

  • Provide direct support the Deputy Chief Executive of Enterprise Transformation, providing a sounding board, insight, judgement, and advice
  • Provide leadership to establish the group's purpose, vision and operating cadence
  • Ensure relationships across the organisation are maintained and communication clear on behalf of the Deputy Chief Executive
  • Offer thought leadership and look for continuous improvement on culture and engagement within the Enterprise Transformation group
  • Draft decision papers and briefings for the Board, ELT and governance groups on behalf oof the DCE.

To be successful, you will bring:

  • A deep understanding of the machinery of government and Crown entities
  • Demonstrated experience in a similar role, leading critical and sensitive work with strategic implications
  • Proven ability to work with senior leaders across the organisation
  • An ability to think strategically and analytically
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
