In the heart of the Goldfields, Kalgoorlie-Boulder is a modern and thriving city that embodies the true spirit of a regional community. Located approximately 600 kilometres east of Perth, more than 30,000 people call the city home and enjoy the amenities and facilities of a metropolitan city, with the lifestyle benefits that come from living in a place where nature and adventure are on your doorstep.

You will be responsible for leading a small, dedicated team of economic development and business engagement officers to plan and implement initiatives that support local business growth, attract private investment, and engage public sector stakeholders to drive sustainable and inclusive economic outcomes.

Reporting to the Director Advocacy and Strategy, you will proactively manage high-impact projects that contribute to the economic vitality of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. This includes facilitating partnerships with industry and government, delivering place-based programs to activate key precincts, and supporting business development opportunities that enhance the liveability and prosperity of the region.

We are looking for someone who is strategic, community-focused, and confident leading a team in a fast-paced environment. You will bring excellent stakeholder engagement and project management skills, along with a passion for creating positive economic change in regional communities.
