  • Lead digital marketing, public relations, media, and event promotion.
  • Oversee sponsorship arrangements and the annual NS-EA Awards.
  • Prepare consultation responses, submissions, and discussion papers in collaboration with members and the Board.

This part-time role is flexible, averaging 5 days per fortnight. The CEO operates primarily from a home office, supported by NS-EA resources, with some interstate travel required for board meetings, planning sessions, and events.

We're looking for a leader who brings:

  • Minimum 3 years' senior leadership experience, preferably in the small or micro-business or not-for-profit sector.
  • Strong financial management capability (budgeting, reporting, Xero, reconciliations).
  • Excellent governance knowledge and experience supporting a Board.
  • Proven stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to represent at ministerial and departmental levels.
