Exciting opportunity to work as part of the foundational team for a new statutory body responsible for ensuring the integrity of pharmacy business ownership.

Enjoy flexible working arrangements while being part of a small, collaborative and innovative team.

Whether you are looking to broaden your skillset or take on a new professional challenge, this is your chance to play a role in establishing a modern regulator to promote the professional, safe and competent delivery of pharmacy services to Queenslanders.

The role

You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team responsible for administering the Pharmacy Business Ownership Act 2024 (Act).

As a newly established organisation, the Queensland Pharmacy Business Ownership Council (Council) offers a dynamic and fast paced environment that will require adaptability, responsiveness and a proactive mindset.

The Director, Licensing and Compliance is responsible for driving the development of licensing systems and processes, and end-to-end strategic management of the licensing scheme for pharmacy businesses in Queensland in a 'start up' environment. You will lead a collaborative, educative and risk-based approach to monitoring and enforcing compliance with the Act and build cross-jurisdictional relationships to drive best practice regulatory outcomes.

Responsibilities Include

  • Strategically managing the Queensland pharmacy business licensing scheme, ensuring customer-focussed, consistent licensing operations and timely, impartial decision-making
  • Providing strategic leadership and professional, authoritative policy and legislative advice to the Council and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) on modern risk-based, collaborative and educative regulatory strategies
  • Making recommendations and providing high quality, professional and concise advice to the Council and CEO on matters arising from the pharmacy business licensing scheme
  • Exercising delegated legislative decision-making functions as required, and
  • Providing leadership and support to a team of licensing and compliance officers responsible for reviewing and assessing large volumes of applications and notifications under the Act and provide guidance on the management of complex issues arising from these matters.

The successful person

To be successful in this position, you will have proven ability to provide strategic direction and leadership and build high performance teams within a complex system and organisation. The role will require a detailed understanding of risk management, strategic direction and the challenges of service delivery within a regulatory context.

You will have highly developed communication, negotiation and interpersonal skills to enable effective interaction with stakeholders at all levels and provide quality written reports, decisions and advice.

You will also have demonstrated experience in complex regulatory and/or licensing environments including regulatory decision-making. You will be adept at operating in a complex and dynamic environment, and able to navigate through ambiguity to take and lead varied responsibilities with a positive attitude.

While not essential, a relevant qualification (e.g. law, business, management) would be well regarded.

About Us

The Act establishes the Council as a statutory body responsible for overseeing a modern and effective licensing framework for over 1300 pharmacy businesses, promoting the professional, safe and competent provision of pharmacy services. Further information about the Council can be found here
