The City of Prospect is a vibrant inner urban community of approximately 21,000 residents, located immediately north of the City of Adelaide. It is an iconic Council noted for attracting record levels of business and property investment in recent years, and delivering services of a quality that rivals or exceeds the best that the Adelaide metro has to offer.
Council hires with a focus on behaviours and attitude as the priority. With this in mind, the Council is in search of a motivated, capable, and well-rounded leader to take the reins of an established and high-performing corporate team. Reporting to the CEO, you will above all demonstrate strong leadership qualities, and a capacity to lead people in a way that brings out their best – leading transformational change, and embedding a culture where innovation is nurtured and supported, and where employees feel empowered and motivated.
As the successful candidate, you will also demonstrate extensive experience in a corporate environment, and proven project management and business planning/reporting skills. You will have the financial acumen to consider and respond to budgetary implications for both the department and the Council at large and support your finance team to position the organisation to meet financial challenges.
Your career history will include demonstrated leadership in managing a complex portfolio and team with diverse skills and responsibilities across a range of corporate functions, as well as a proven ability in leading, motivating and developing people through the creation of a high performing, responsible and accountable culture.
Essential to the role are highly developed project management skills, demonstrated commitment to internal and external customers, and a capacity for strategic thinking. The proven ability to analyse operational systems and processes to support continuous improvement and drive innovation will also be highly regarded.
A tertiary qualification in law, finance, commerce, business and/or a relevant discipline is essential, and post graduate studies in a relevant discipline will be highly regarded. Your capacity to demonstrate exemplary professional integrity and excellent interpersonal skills will also be a critical success factor in your successful integration into this high-performing business and staff body.
