**National Program Executive, Resilience
**What can you expect?**

JLT Risk Solutions Pty Ltd (a Marsh McLennan business), trading as JLT Public Sector (JLT) is committed to delivering specialist risk services and products to Local Government through the development of the diverse Local Government Mutual Schemes, nationally.

In keeping with our undertaking to deliver contemporary, sustainable and innovative services, JLT has designed and developed the National Local Government Vulnerability program. The NLGVP reflects the ideals of all governments, that local government is an essential stakeholder in the build of community resilience to reduce the impact and cost of disaster caused by natural hazard events.

The NLGVP is an ambitious yet essential next step in maturing local government’s strategic and risk reduction framework as it strives to anticipate and mitigate the cost of disaster/climate risk. JLT is currently expanding its team of specialist service delivery practitioners to enable the efficient and effective roll-out of the NLGVP across 537 councils. This has created an opportunity for the newly created senior role of **National Program Executive, Resilience**.
