The ideal candidate will possess:

  • A proven track record of driving growth and innovation in a similar organisational context
  • Exceptional leadership skills, including the ability to communicate effectively with stakeholders, develop high-performing teams, and drive business outcomes
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret complex data and make informed decisions
  • A deep understanding of the challenges facing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and a commitment to driving positive change
  • Experience working in a culturally sensitive environment, with a strong appreciation for the importance of reconciliation and cultural awareness
