Chief Executive Officer
About Strathbogie:
Strathbogie Shire offers an excellent lifestyle choice in a community with everything on its doorstep.
Our Shire is a vibrant and ambitious rural municipality advantageously positioned just over 1.5hours from the Melbourne CBD along the Hume Freeway. With agriculture and tourism as the cornerstone of our economy, our Shire is rich with natural beauty, wonderful landscapes, and a strong sense of belonging and character. Our offices in Euroa and Nagambie are ideally positioned near the major regional centres of Shepparton and Wangaratta which offer a wide range of facilities, retail and entertainment opportunities.
Our newly elected council is committed to developing a culture which puts sound governance practises at the front of all decision making and has a united belief in the capability of the organisation to deliver results.
Council is focussed, displaying genuine leadership to deliver on the future strategic plans for the Shire, in a close working relationship with the community, CEO and executive team.
The Position:
The Chief Executive Officer role is an exciting opportunity to lead the Executive Leadership Team and further the commitment to demonstrating inspirational leadership to both staff and the wider community.
To be successful in this role, you will be an experienced executive from within the Local Government, Community Services or Private Sectors. You will have a good understanding of rural communities and what it takes to build sustainable partnerships with key stakeholders in this setting. The ability to leverage relationships with state and federal government stakeholders to generate funding opportunities will be vital in this role.
Our newly elected council is united, committed and passionate about the opportunities that lie ahead, and is looking for an equally ambitious individual to realise these opportunities for the Shire.
About You:
To be successful in this pivotal leadership position, you will have extensive leadership experience including some experience in a similar public facing organisation. You will be an authentic leader and a confident communicator who is skilled at engaging and empowering staff in the delivery of essential community services and asset management. You will bring an innovative and commercial mindset to council and encourage broad thinking among the leadership team.
You will have strong financial acumen and the courage to make tough financial and operational decisions that support improvement in council operations, oversee delivery of community ambitions and ensure the sustainability of the Strathbogie Shire.
This is an exciting opportunity not to be missed.
