Located only 5km from the Melbourne CBD, the City of Yarra is a popular destination to live, work and visit. The area has abundant natural beauty and heritage, sustainable transport options, retail and entertainment precincts, and exciting arts and cultural attractions. Yarra’s neighbourhoods are distinct, each offering something a little different for people to enjoy. The City is a vibrant, safe and inclusive environment, celebrating and embracing diversity and connection to each other and to land.

The City of Yarra has set an inspiring vision with a strong commitment to social justice, responding to the climate emergency and unprecedented growth. To deliver that vision, a contemporary organisational structure has been established to enhance innovation and collaboration at Yarra, strengthen their reputation and enable deeper engagement with a community passionate about their city.

Yarra City Council is set to embark on an era of transformational change and to drive this critical effort, we are seeking to appoint a highly experienced and forward-thinking leader to lead culture, change, the implementation of best practice systems that support leadership development, support our highly valued staff and embrace diversity and inclusion.

Reporting to the General Manager City Sustainability and Strategy, the Manager City Strategy will provide inspirational leadership to the City Strategy team, across Strategic Planning, Economic Development, Urban Design, and Open Space Planning & Design. The role will be instrumental in contributing to the overall success of Council now and into the future, through the development and implementation of strategies and policies that address population growth and provide positive social, environmental, economic and amenity outcomes. The Manager will collaboratively partner with both internal and external stakeholders to influence outcomes and deliver innovative projects, ensuring high quality and environmentally sustainable public realm and private investment outcomes.

To be successful in this role you will bring proven leadership and planning expertise, ideally in an inner city environment, either within local government or an aligned sector. You will be adept at forming credible and collaborative relationships, including Government departments and agencies, community groups, peers, and other key stakeholders. You pride yourself on your strong consultation, presentation, and communication skills, and ability to develop and inspire great outcomes from your team. With a tertiary degree in Urban Design/Planning or a related discipline, you will be politically astute and have a sound understanding of the economic, environmental and social dynamics of an inner metro community.

This role is an exciting opportunity to be a part of a visionary team committed to demonstrating inspirational leadership and championing the vision of a sustainable, vibrant, and community-oriented municipality.
