Job Description

Enterprise Governance Lead - (Part time)

n

Journey Early Learning – Macquarie Park NSW

n

High-impact work. Genuine balance. A role you can truly own.

n

It's not often you find a role at this level that offers both meaningful impact and part-time flexibility.

n

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.

n

This is an opportunity to step into a visible, business-critical role where you can make a real difference—without compromising balance.

n

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.

n

About the Role

n

Working closely with the Managing Director and partnering across the business, you'll bring clarity, structure, and consistency to how we operate.

n

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.

n

You will:

n

n
- Embed and strengthen governance frameworks across the organisation
n
- Ensure enterprise risk is visible, owned, and proactively managed
n
- Coordinate legal matters with a practical, commercial lens
n
- Lead Risk & Audit Committee cadence, reporting, and outcomes
n
- Bring clarity to policies, delegations, and decision‐making
n
- Partner with leaders to build accountability and capability
n

n





Why This Role Stands Out

n

n
- Rare part‐time senior role with real ownership and influence
n
- High profile – direct partnership with Founders / Executive & Senior levels
n
- Hands‐on impact – shape how governance works day to day
n
- Strong foundations in place – focus on embedding and elevating
n
- Flexibility without compromise – senior scope in a 3‐day structure
n
- Opportunity to grow the role as the organisation evolves
n

n

What Success Looks Like

n

n
- Governance is clear, consistent, and embedded
n
- Leaders operate confidently within frameworks
n
- Risks are visible and actively managedLegal and compliance are structured and practical
n
- Governance enables better decisions—it doesn't slow them down
n

n

About You

n

You're someone who thrives in roles where you can own, shape, and deliver.

n

You enjoy bringing clarity to complexity and working alongside leaders to make things work in practice—not just on paper.

n

You'll bring:

n

n
- Experience across governance, risk, legal, or compliance
n
- Confidence working closely with senior stakeholders
n
- Solid execution capability—you embed, not just design
n
- Background working as an intermediary between legal and operations
n
- A pragmatic, solutions‐focused mindset
n
- Experience in a scaling or multi‐site environment (highly regarded)
n

n

n

We believe strong foundations enable great environments—and this role is central to ensuring we continue to grow with clarity, consistency, and confidence.
