Alice Springs, NT | Values-driven Organisation | Growing Enterprise

Our client, Lhere Artepe Enterprises (LAE) is a proudly Aboriginal-owned organisation and the commercial arm of Lhere Artepe Aboriginal Corporation. Operating as a charitable trust serving the Arrernte people of Central Australia, LAE owns and operates three IGA supermarkets and the iconic Outbush clothing store, as well as owning three commercial buildings, with a mission to generate sustainable income and employment for the benefit of the local Aboriginal community.

At an exciting time in its history, the opportunity has emerged for a visionary Chief Executive Officer to lead LAE through its next era with a focus on strategic consolidation, driving sustainable growth, maximising operating surplus and, ultimately, enhancing their contribution to the Arrernte community. This is a critical leadership role requiring a dynamic, strategic executive to lead and oversee the LAE group, including strategic planning, financial stewardship, operations, governance, safety and security, communications and marketing.

With a forecast for future growth and development, interest is sought from persuasive, influential and commercially astute executives with a strong understanding of FMCG and an appetite for taking calculated risks. Supporting the Board in developing and implementing the strategic direction of LAE, you will demonstrate strength in leadership in positioning the organisation for sustainable growth and transformation while upholding LAE's core values of integrity, respect and inclusivity.

Success will be underpinned by a tertiary qualification in a relevant field, superior communication skills and a strong grasp of financial analysis and strategic planning. Experience working with Indigenous organisations is highly desirable, as is the ability to foster a cohesive and culturally sensitive team environment.

This is a unique opportunity to lead a values-driven organisation with deep community roots and a strong commercial foundation. The role offers the chance to make a lasting impact in Central Australia, supporting the aspirations of the Arrernte people through enterprise, employment and cultural stewardship.

Applications close at 5:00pm on Friday, 19 September 2025.
