A strategic self-starter and diligent people leader, you proactively identify opportunities and develop and maintain a pipeline of acquisitions with follow through to deal closure. You keep a close eye on the market, are future focused and curious, enabling your team to succeed by staying proactive and strategic in your ways of working.

You will also;

And because everyone leads unique lives, we offer flexible work, additional leave and parental leave entitlements.

We’re continuing to build a gender equitable team, and a culture that is just as diverse, inclusive and welcoming as the communities we serve.
