We're partnering with a regional Council in Western Queensland that truly lives and breathes their values, and they're looking for someone who'll be a great fit for their close-knit team!

Our client is looking for someone who will grow with them, someone who wants to contribute to the community, and step into a broad leadership role that offers real variety and impact.

It's a great opportunity for someone ready to take the next step. Whether you're already managing a small team or looking to move into a more senior, all-round role.

If this role sounds like the right fit but you don't meet every single requirement, don't let that hold you back. Our client is flexible and more interested in the person behind the resume. If you've got experience working in local Government, are motivated, capable, and believe you could make a real contribution to the team, I'd love to hear from you!

• Fully subsidised, modern accommodation just minutes from work
• Car allowance
• Utilities allowance
• An excellent career step
• Learning and development allowance to support your growth
• 3-year fixed term contract with possibility to extend
• A supportive workplace that invests in its people and prioritises culture

Key responsibilities:

• Oversee corporate operations including finance, procurement, customer service, ICT, and records
• Support budget development, financial reporting, and long-term financial planning
• Coordinate governance, risk management, audit responses, and compliance
• Lead and mentor a team across corporate and internal service functions
• Foster collaboration across departments and contribute to continuous improvement
• Step into higher duties when required, with support and guidance from senior leadership
