Care in Action

With a career at the TAC, you'll be helping us look out for the lives of everyone who travels on Victoria's roads. That's care in action.

Right now, we're seeking a Governance Partner who will play their part in this shared purpose, while also supporting the progress of clients and colleagues so they can achieve great things. That's truly rewarding work that will help us continue to deliver life-critical services where it matters.

About the role

The Governance Partner plays a key role in supporting the delivery of TAC's Governance Framework, ensuring legislation, regulations, policies, contracts, board actions and audit requirements are effectively governed at an enterprise level. You will help embed Corporate Policy Framework, leading the business through the transformation. You will support the Enterprise Transformation projects such as the IDKMs, eDMS, and Clients Policy automation. Supporting the governance discipline within enterprise systems and functions, providing the executive with the oversight and assurance they need to manage operations across the organisation.

In this role, you will lead stakeholders through key governance initiatives, support the development and implementation of TAC's policy framework, and monitor compliance systems to ensure effective controls are in place. Operating in a complex, evolving environment, you'll bring agility, self-direction, and the confidence to work in ambiguity while consistently delivering high-quality outcomes.

About the Team

You will join the newly established Enterprise Governance team within the Corporate Legal and Compliance branch - a collaborative group of seven who support each other to deliver in a constantly evolving, sensitive environment. The team values flexibility, professionalism, and a positive, fun working culture.

Reporting to a manager who offers a high level of trust and autonomy, you will be empowered to work independently while having an open line for guidance and support when navigating roadblocks or complex challenges.

Governance & Compliance Experience

Tertiary qualifications in business, governance, or compliance (or equivalent practical experience) and proven experience in compliance, governance, or audit roles. You understand executive accountabilities, governance processes, and risk mitigation, and can operate with high levels of discretion, trust, and pragmatism in sensitive environments.

Highly developed stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, with the ability to lead stakeholders through governance initiatives and negotiate in sensitive environments. You are a clear and confident communicator with the ability to prepare concise, well-structured written materials for varied audiences.

Organised & Agile Operator

Strong organisational and time management skills, with the ability to manage changing priorities and work to demanding timeframes. You are confident working autonomously, taking ownership of outcomes, and adapting to evolving business needs.
