Be Part of a Major Reform - Strengthen Public Trust in Government Processes

Join a newly established Independent Government Agency at the forefront of one of the most significant Commonwealth reforms in recent years. Created to restore public confidence in federal decision-making, this agency plays a pivotal role in ensuring transparency and accountability in the public sector.

As the EL1 Nationwide Office Manager, you'll take the helm of a diverse team spanning multiple states and territories, driving excellence in operational delivery, property and facilities management, and internal service standards.

  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders and external service providers to deliver best-in-class facilities services
  • Contribute to high-level reporting and planning, including inputs into the Australian Government Property Register and annual reports

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
  • Flexible Locations: Choose to be based in Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide or Hobart
  • Competitive Compensation: Attractive hourly rate plus super, with potential for extension
