Enterprise Governance Lead - (Part time)
Journey Early Learning – Macquarie Park NSW
High-impact work. Genuine balance. A role you can truly own.
It's not often you find a role at this level that offers both
meaningful impact and part-time flexibility
.
At Journey Early Learning, we're growing—and how we operate behind the scenes matters just as much as what happens in our centres. We're looking for a
Enterprise Governance Lead
to take ownership of governance, risk, and legal across the organisation and ensure it is embedded, understood, and working in practice.
This is an opportunity to step into a
visible, business-critical role
where you can make a real difference—without compromising balance.
It is perfect for a Governance or Compliance Lead who is looking for a step into a Head of level position, someone who has the experience executing and is ready to lean in and step into a more senior enterprise level role.
About the Role
Working closely with the Managing Director and partnering across the business, you'll bring
clarity, structure, and consistency
to how we operate.
This isn't a role that sits at a distance—you'll be
hands-on, embedded, and deeply connected to the business
, ensuring governance supports progress as we scale.
You will:
Embed and strengthen governance frameworks across the organisation
Ensure enterprise risk is visible, owned, and proactively managed
Coordinate legal matters with a practical, commercial lens
Lead Risk & Audit Committee cadence, reporting, and outcomes
Bring clarity to policies, delegations, and decision‐making
Partner with leaders to build accountability and capability




Why This Role Stands Out
Rare part‐time senior role
with real ownership and influence
High profile
– direct partnership with Founders / Executive & Senior levels
Hands‐on impact
– shape how governance works day to day
Strong foundations in place
– focus on embedding and elevating
Flexibility without compromise
– senior scope in a 3‐day structure
Opportunity to grow
the role as the organisation evolves
What Success Looks Like
Governance is clear, consistent, and embedded
Leaders operate confidently within frameworks
Risks are visible and actively managedLegal and compliance are structured and practical
Governance enables better decisions—it doesn't slow them down
About You
You're someone who thrives in roles where you can
own, shape, and deliver
.
You enjoy bringing clarity to complexity and working alongside leaders to make things work in practice—not just on paper.
You'll bring:
Experience across governance, risk, legal, or compliance
Confidence working closely with senior stakeholders
Strong execution capability—you embed, not just design
Background working as an intermediary between legal and operations
A pragmatic, solutions‐focused mindset
Experience in a scaling or multi‐site environment (highly regarded)
Why Join Journey Early Learning
At Journey, we are guided by our values of
Connection, Consideration, and Communication
, and a commitment to always improving.
We believe strong foundations enable excellent environments—and this role is central to ensuring we continue to grow with
clarity, consistency, and confidence
.
