Chief Executive Officer

This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity to lead a highly respected and welcoming not-for-profit organisation that is enhancing the lives of young disadvantaged, vulnerable and isolated people.  Providing unique resources, it delivers services that drive change. 

Through a balance of strategy and operational strength and collaboration the role will maintain the organisation’s internal culture and build on its many strong existing relationships and partnerships.  You will need acute business acumen and ingenuity to devise original ways to adapt and sustainably grow the organisation into the future. 

It is essential that you can work closely with the board.  You need to be skilled at the diversification of funding sources, be financially and data savvy, bring entrepreneurial knowhow and have excellent influencing skills. 

A compassionate pragmatist with a friendly, supportive can-do approach, you have admirable soft skills that enable you to relate with all people at all levels and a leadership style that inspires others to want to be part of your team and work in support of the organisation’s plans.  You will have a proven leadership style that fosters collaboration, inclusiveness and motivates a team of professional and committed staff.  High level emotional intelligence, interpersonal and communication skills will be essential along with successful experience in developing and nurturing key stakeholder and community networks and partnerships to support the success of the organisation.

If you are ready to bring these skills, plus integrity and energy to this wonderfully worthwhile and fulfilling leadership role, we encourage you to apply with a tailored 1-2 page cover letter that articulates your interest and skills alignment, and your resume to careers@ontalent.com.au

Applications close: 29th July, 2022.
