You will take ownership of a broad and influential portfolio, including:
• Finance and Rates
• Customer Service
• Information Services and Information Management
• Human Resources and Work Health and Safety
• Payroll
This role is about more than operational oversight. You will be a key advisor to the CEO and Council, contributing to strategy, governance, and decision-making at the highest level while ensuring services are delivered efficiently, ethically, and with a strong customer focus.
Why This Role Stands Out
• Salary package of $150,000 - $180,000 plus super, with flexible packaging options
• Six weeks annual leave
• Executive-level influence and visibility
• Opportunity to shape strategy and drive meaningful change
• Lead a high-performing, multi-disciplinary team

• A collaborative approach, with the confidence to influence at CEO and Council level
Relevant tertiary qualifications in finance, business, or a related discipline are highly regarded, with CPA or similar professional membership considered advantageous.
How to apply
You build trust through action. You don’t wait to be told, you anticipate, deliver, and follow through. Experience in Local Government will be highly regarded, but not essential.
Don’t miss out on such a rare opportunity to reach new heights in your career as an Executive Assistant and be recognised as a vital contributor to the organisation. Apply Now!
