Director Corporate and Financial Services

Glamorgan Spring Bay Council | Triabunna, Tasmania

Lead. Transform. Influence. Belong.

Nestled on Tasmania's spectacular East Coast, Glamorgan Spring Bay offers an enviable lifestyle where stunning beaches, national parks, vibrant local communities, and a strong sense of connection come together. This is a rare opportunity to join a community-focused Council and contribute to the future of a region renowned for its natural beauty, community spirit, and quality of life.

Reporting directly to the CEO and forming part of the Executive Leadership Team, the Director Corporate & Financial Services will lead a diverse portfolio encompassing finance, customer service, rates, records management, information technology, digital transformation, and community assets including the East Coast Heritage Museum.

Council is seeking a seasoned and credible leader with the career maturity, judgement and resilience to guide a business unit through a period of positive change while building culture, capability and confidence across the organisation.

Leading a team of eight, you will bring a calm, measured and people-focused leadership style. You will know how to navigate competing priorities, create psychological safety, empower others to succeed, and genuinely listen to the ideas and expertise within your team. Equally, you will be confident making decisions, setting direction and delivering outcomes.

A key focus of the role will be supporting Council's digital transformation journey.



While significant opportunities exist, the program is still in its infancy and requires a pragmatic leader who can balance ambition with reality, bringing people along the journey and implementing sustainable improvement at the right pace.
