Lead the movement redefining the Blak economy

The Northern Territory Indigenous Business Network (NTIBN) is the peak body for Aboriginal business and economic empowerment across the Northern Territory.

We are a proud, Aboriginal-controlled organisation representing a powerful network of Certified Blak Businesses driving real jobs, wealth creation, and self-determined change.

NTIBN is seeking a bold, visionary, and culturally grounded Chief Executive Officer to lead the organisation through its next phase of growth, influence, and transformation.

Reporting to an all-Aboriginal Board, the CEO will guide NTIBN's strategic agenda across policy, partnerships, and advocacy — ensuring Aboriginal business remains central to the Territory's economic future.

About You

You are an accomplished Aboriginal executive leader with:

  • Proven success leading complex organisations and reforms across Aboriginal business, government, or community sectors.
  • Deep understanding of Aboriginal procurement, workforce development, and Closing the Gap economic priorities.
  • The confidence to negotiate at the highest levels of government and industry while staying grounded in community.
  • The courage to speak truth to power and the vision to turn advocacy into action.

What We Offer

  • Attractive executive remuneration package (negotiable based on experience and outcomes).
  • Relocation and vehicle allowance.
  • The opportunity to lead a respected Aboriginal peak body during a time of national reform and economic momentum.

About the Role

As CEO, you will be responsible for:

  • Implementing NTIBN's 2025–2027 Strategic Plan and embedding the Blak-First Economic Framework.
  • Driving Aboriginal-led policy reform and economic advocacy at state and national levels.
  • Building strong partnerships across government, industry, and community to advance Aboriginal enterprise.
  • Leading an engaged team and fostering a culturally strong, high-performance organisational culture.
  • Representing NTIBN's 460+ Certified Blak Businesses and advancing Aboriginal economic sovereignty across the NT.
