Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Melbourne Water Corporation Full time

In Melbourne, water is essential to our way of life.

As caretakers for Melbourne's water cycle, we care for water, life and land throughout Melbourne: both its people and its biodiversity.

Each time you drink from the tap, flush a toilet, run through a backyard sprinkler, or kayak down the Yarra we're there. Primed and ready, quietly delivering some of the world's cleanest water for over five million residents and wildlife that call Melbourne home, just as we have for over 130 years.

If you value making it count, diving in with curiosity, and doing what's right, you're in the right place.

About the Role

Reporting to Manager Strategic Relationships & Influencing this is a pivotal role across the Customer Community & External Affairs team. As the Government Affairs Lead you will be responsible for ensuring Melbourne Water (MW) and Government share an open and transparent relationship.

This role is critical in ensuring MW is helping to drive outcomes that are consistent with our business-wide strategic goals and solidifying MW's position as a trusted advisor for water issues and the sector.

  • Build, maintain and strengthen respectful, constructive relationships with public affairs and caucus staff within the office of the Minister for Water (and other portfolio Ministerial offices as required and as directed), including managing correspondence between MW and those stakeholders.
  • Develop, maintain and strengthen key strategic relationships with DEECA representatives, and with other Departmental staff where required, in relation to high-interest or complex public matters.
  • Proactively and sensitively liaise with Government stakeholders to inform and seek counsel on significant issues of public interest and to support Ministerial events.
  • Work seamlessly with internal media team to support management approaches and responses to high-profile public affairs matters, including during incidents (if required).
  • Provide advice and guidance to the Managing Director and to the Executive Leadership Team, and support them when having strategic conversations with Ministers, Government and MPs.
About You:

You will bring a strong background in government affairs, politics and/or communications with a demonstrated understanding of state government processes.

A proven track record of building and maintaining strategic relationships with key stakeholders, particularly at a senior level, is highly regarded.

You will be able to operate effectively in a fast-paced environment, exercise sound judgment and discretion when handling sensitive information and maintain confidentiality as required.

Tertiary qualifications in Politics, Political Science, Government Administration, Communications or Media would be beneficial.
