Are you a hands-on leader who thrives on delivering high-impact projects, building partnerships and making a difference? Regional Development Australia Limestone Coast (RDALC) is seeking a dynamic Manager, Projects and Partnerships to lead a small passionate team, champion regional priorities, and help shape the economic and social prosperity of our vibrant region.

  • Build and nurture strong partnerships with local businesses, government, and community organisations
  • Advocate for infrastructure and investment that strengthens the Limestone Coast through written submissions

One week, you might be meeting local entrepreneurs to explore growth opportunities; the next, you're on the hunt for investment proposed for the region. Every day, you'll be making a tangible difference - together with a small, passionate and dedicated team.

  • Proven experience managing and delivering multiple projects to successful completion
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to bring out the best in your team
  • A track record of engaging stakeholders and delivering meaningful partnerships
  • High-level written and verbal communication skills including formal report writing and written submissions

  • Extensive opportunities to influence regional priorities and outcomes
  • Be part of a small and welcoming team where you will feel valued
  • Access to many professional development and networking opportunities
  • Celebrate birthdays and workiversaries
