**About the Role**

We are seeking an accomplished and forward-thinking Head of Strategic Property to provide clarity, structure, and direction for Hobsons Bay's property portfolio.

We are looking for a highly skilled professional with extensive senior-level experience in property strategy, land use, and infrastructure planning within government, advisory, or commercial contexts.

To be successful, you will bring strong commercial, political, and legal acumen with deep knowledge of property law, governance frameworks, and local government obligations. You will have a proven ability to lead multi-year property strategies, influence senior executives, Councilors, and external stakeholders in politically sensitive environments, and align outcomes with organisational transformation goals. Strong skills in financial planning, business case development, and market analysis will be highly regarded. This role will suit a collaborative, strategic leader who can navigate complexity, balance competing interests, and drive positive long-term outcomes for Hobsons Bay.
