  • Guide executive and Board decision-making across regulatory, corporate, and dispute matters.

  • Proven leadership across commercial law, JVs, governance, and regulatory compliance.
  • Strong stakeholder skills, ideally including government and regulatory bodies.
  • A collaborative leadership style aligned to CS Energy's values of accountability, innovation, and teamwork.
  • Experience within Queensland's GOC environment (highly regarded but not essential).
