Alice Springs Town Council is entering its next phase of organisational maturity, following a period of substantial internal reform. Systems, structure and cultural foundations have been reset, creating a platform for improved performance and service delivery.
Council now seeks a Chief Executive Officer to consolidate this progress and lead the organisation through a critical phase of execution, alignment and refinement. Reporting to the Mayor and Elected Members, the CEO will be responsible for embedding operational discipline, strengthening leadership capability and ensuring consistent delivery across all service areas.
Key priorities include building a cohesive, enterprise-focused executive team, and continuing the organisation’s cultural uplift. The role will also drive improvements in customer experience, moving toward a more integrated and consistent service model for the community.
