About the Role

The Chief of Staff is a critical partner to the CEO, responsible for ensuring the organisation converts strategy into disciplined execution. This role combines strategic advisory, executive coordination and enterprise delivery, sitting at the centre of the Executive Senior Leadership Team.

The Chief of Staff acts as an integrator across the business - bringing clarity to priorities, lifting execution cadence, strengthening governance, and ensuring decisions made at the executive level are translated into action across the organisation.

While the role includes some support for external stakeholder engagement (for example, supporting the CEO in government, industry and key external interactions), its core purpose is enabling effective internal delivery and alignment.

Reporting directly to the CEO, this is a Brisbane‑based role (Eight Mile Plains) with some domestic travel will be required.

Key Responsibilities:

• Partner with the CEO and Executive Senior Leadership Team (ESLT) as a trusted adviser on enterprise priorities, emerging risks and strategic opportunities; prepare the CEO for Board (SteerCo) and critical leadership forums.
• Drive enterprise execution, translating strategy into actionable plans, milestones and accountabilities, and ensuring delivery across functions.
• Establish and maintain executive rhythm, including strategic planning cycles, quarterly business reviews, scorecards, agendas and decision tracking.
• Coordinate governance and decision flow, overseeing the quality, clarity and timeliness of executive, SteerCo and Committee materials.
• Enable executive alignment, surfacing interdependencies, resolving cross‑functional friction and ensuring enterprise priorities are resourced and actioned.
• Support selected external engagement, including briefing and coordination for key government, industry and stakeholder interactions, as required.
• Oversee internal and external communications, ensuring messaging is consistent and aligned to business strategy.
