PROGRAM DIRECTOR

– National change project
– Help lead the merger of The Salvation Army Australia into one unified
organisation

The Salvation Army (TSA) in Australia operates as two distinct territories. In March this year it was announced that they will merge into one territory to deliver a unified organisation with an aligned vision, united voice, stronger partnerships, better stewardship, and the ability to make an even greater impact on the many people who depend upon their services.

The Program Director will oversee the delivery of projects and tasks required to achieve their positive vision, working closely with the National Commander, Project Steering Committee and the strategy consultants advising TSA. You will develop a robust implementation plan, working with diverse participants, to ensure delivery of all objectives on time, on budget and in keeping with TSA’s values.

Working out of Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra as required, the location for the position will be fluid and you will build up a team with the key focus on Communications & Public Relations; Change Management & HR; and Project Management – including Finance & IT Systems.

For this pivotal role you will need to be a seasoned executive with first-hand experience of leading organisational change in a corporate structure with diverse geographic operations. A high level of conceptual ability, communication skills, and the cultural sensitivity to achieve successful engagement from staff, volunteers and Corps members across the country is essential.
