  • Maintain, promote and advance the self-determination and empowerment, culture and human rights of First Peoples.
About the Role

This senior leadership role will lead a team responsible for the development of advanced solutions-focussed policy options, providing monitoring, analysis, technical and strategic advice on Treaty-related issues. In addition, the Director Agreement-Making will be responsible for the development, management and continuous improvement of systems supporting the Treaty Authority’s administration of the Treaty Negotiation Framework and ensure that all parties to the Treaty process - including Traditional Owner groups - receive the necessary advice, information, referrals and other supports from the Treaty Authority in a culturally informed way.

This is a three-year fixed-term opportunity, based at our offices in Collingwood.

  • Lead the provision of high-level policy advice and technical support to Members in day-to-day operation of the Treaty Negotiation Framework.
  • Manage the team acting as the day-to-day point of contact for all parties to the Treaty process, including Traditional Owner groups, and the provision of appropriate advice, information, referrals and other supports. 
  • Lead the identification of any supports needed by First Peoples involved in the Treaty process, and development of systemic solutions to address those.
  • Actively promote and advocate the vision and initiatives of the Treaty Authority within and outside the organisation as a member of the executive leadership team.
  • Play a key leadership role in fostering positive team engagement and inspire an inclusive and high-performing culture across the Treaty Authority.
  • Promote and support the Treaty Authority’s values and building on its positive reputation.
Selection Criteria
  • Lived experience or experience working with Aboriginal communities preferably in Victoria, with sound working knowledge of Aboriginal community-controlled organisations, Traditional Owner groups, legislative and regulatory regimes, Aboriginal histories and leaders, democratic processes, machinery of government and the Victorian Public Service.
  • Excellent knowledge of issues affecting First Peoples and a strong passion for driving positive career outcomes for First Peoples students and early-stage professionals.
  • Extensive experience at executive, general management or senior management level overseeing the delivery of strategy and/or policy, preferably in a community or for-purpose organisation.
  • Leadership expertise in relevant areas such as First Peoples legal issues, dispute resolution, administration of legal frameworks and/or human rights.
  • Proven competence in leading teams within policy or strategy at a senior management level and the ability to coach and develop direct reports.
  • Relevant tertiary qualifications in a relevant discipline such as social or public policy, law, social science and/or substantial and broad experience in a similar role.
