What You'll Bring

  • Demonstrated leadership in multi-site or national operations, preferably within government or regulated environments
  • Deep understanding of Commonwealth property and procurement frameworks, including the PGPA Act and Commonwealth Procurement Rules
  • High-level communication and negotiation skills - you're comfortable advising senior executives and influencing outcomes
  • Proven ability to lead through change, implement improvements, and foster an engaged and high-performing culture
  • Strategic thinker with strong emotional intelligence and adaptability

Why Join This Agency?

  • Lead National Operations: Take ownership of property, facilities, and registry functions across the country
  • Drive Innovation: Play a central role in uplifting systems, services, and team capability
  • Make a Difference: Be part of an organisation with purpose, integrity, and national impact
