- Senior executive experience in a large and complex organisation, with experience within a membership based organisation a distinct advantage
- Experience leading an organisation that has undergone significant change, with a demonstrated ability to develop strategy, manage risk, create a vision and bring people along on the change journey
- Experience in delivering a suite of health, companion and wellbeing programs to improve the quality of life of a defined group of beneficiaries
- Strong understanding of military and/or RSL NSW culture, and of the nuanced complexity within the RSL NSW membership cohort
- Strong communication skills, able to deliver the organisation’s message and engage with a broad range of stakeholders both within and outside the organisation
- Commitment to the highest standards of good governance and transparency
