Hobart, Tasmania, Australia Searson Buck Group Full time

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) - Not-for-Profit / Food Relief

Lead a Respected, High-Impact Organisation Making a Real Difference in Tasmania

Foodbank Tasmania is at the heart of the state's fight against food insecurity, ensuring that vulnerable individuals and families have access to essential food supplies. As part of Foodbank Australia—one of the country's top ten most well-regarded brands—Foodbank Tasmania plays a crucial role in sourcing, collecting, and distributing millions of meals each year through a network of community organisations, charities, and schools. With strong partnerships across government, corporate sponsors, and the not-for-profit sector, the organisation is well-positioned for continued growth and innovation.

Based in Hobart, this is an opportunity to lead an organisation that not only provides food relief but also works to address the root causes of food insecurity. The CEO will be responsible for setting and executing a strategic vision that strengthens Foodbank Tasmania's impact, expands partnerships, and ensures operational excellence in warehousing and logistics. This is a hands-on leadership role, balancing high-level strategy with engagement across key stakeholders to secure funding, advocate for policy support, and drive sustainable growth.

This is more than just a leadership position—it's a chance to create lasting social impact. The CEO will have the opportunity to drive real change in a well-respected and financially stable organisation, with the backing of a dedicated team, a strong national brand, and a growing network of partners. For a leader passionate about making a difference, this role offers the ability to influence systemic change, strengthen community resilience, and leave a legacy that improves lives across Tasmania.

We are seeking a leader with experience in senior roles, ideally in the not-for-profit, government, or corporate sectors. Strong stakeholder engagement and advocacy skills are essential, along with a track record of driving organisational growth and operational effectiveness. While experience in logistics or supply chain management is desirable, it is not essential. This role is an opportunity for a dynamic, purpose-driven leader—whether an experienced CEO or a senior executive ready for the next step—to take on a high-impact position that truly changes lives across Tasmania.
