This is a rare opportunity to shape both the future of a department and the services that enable it.

The Department of Primary Industries is establishing a renewed executive leadership team to guide its next chapter. These appointments come at a pivotal time, as the department positions itself to deliver stronger outcomes for industry, communities and customers across Queensland.

The Deputy Director-General, Enterprise Services will play a central role in that journey.

The Opportunity

This is a broad and influential executive leadership role responsible for the functions that enable organisational performance at scale.

Importantly, this role is not about administering traditional corporate services from a central office.

The department is deliberately rethinking how enterprise functions support frontline service delivery across Queensland. Through a modern hub-and-spoke operating model, Enterprise Services will work more closely with regional operations, ensuring services are responsive, practical and aligned to customer and workforce needs.
