What if you could use your Local Government Property & Rates knowledge every day, without dealing with the parts of the job you’d happily leave behind?
No difficult ratepayer calls.
No chasing overdue rates.
No debt collection calls.
No front-counter confrontations.
And far fewer conversations about “why have my rates gone up?”
CouncilFirst is looking for an experienced Local Government Property & Rates professional who wants to put their knowledge to work in a different way.
Instead of administering Rates for one council, you’ll use your experience across different councils, helping solve problems, improve processes and contribute to the ongoing development of the CouncilFirst Property & Rates solution.
What you’ll be doingYou’ll use your Local Government experience to:
- help council staff solve real Property & Rates problems
- investigate and troubleshoot system and process issues
- share your knowledge with people who genuinely value your expertise
- contribute to the ongoing development and improvement of CouncilFirst Property & Rates
- help ensure our solution continues to meet legislative and operational requirements
- identify opportunities to improve functionality and processes
- broaden your experience across different councils, jurisdictions and scenarios
- work with a team that understands Australian Local Government.
The role draws on practical experience across areas such as valuation management, rebates and discounts, debt collection processes, accounting fundamentals and legislative compliance. About youWe’re looking for someone with strong,
practical experience in Australian Local Government Property & Rates.
You’ll probably recognise yourself as someone who:
- knows how Local Government Rates work in the real world, not just in theory
- understands valuations, rebates, discounts and rating processes
- enjoys getting to the bottom of complex Property & Rates issues
- can communicate confidently with council staff and colleagues
- enjoys sharing knowledge and helping others
- can work autonomously while being part of a collaborative team
- looks for better ways of doing things.
Why CouncilFirst?This is an opportunity to stay in Local Government Rates while taking your career in a different direction. Rather than working within the Rates setting of a single council, you’ll apply your experience across different councils, different challenges and different jurisdictions.
You’ll also have the opportunity to help shape how CouncilFirst Property & Rates evolves, bringing the practical perspective that comes from real Local Government experience.
You’re not leaving Rates behind. You’re putting your Rates knowledge to work in a different way.
