In this leadership role, you’ll guide cross-functional teams, mentor junior staff, and create a collaborative, high-performance environment where people thrive and projects succeed.
We’re looking for a strategic thinker and inclusive leader. You will be someone who leads with integrity and professionalism. Your emotional intelligence, strong judgement, and ability to influence will help you build trust and shape outcomes across a diverse stakeholder landscape.
You’ll bring a solutions-focused mindset, resilience in the face of change, and the ability to solve complex problems that support public sector priorities and deliver real impact.
