Director of Corporate Services

The City of Karratha is one of WA’s hot spots for career opportunities and with only 1/3 of the jobs within the mining industries the opportunities are endless. Plus, as the largest city in the Pilbara, Karratha is a supportive family community and it’s no surprise Karratha is a draw card to live and work. Endless warm weather and the opportunity to explore this beautiful region is one of the major attractions for young and old.

Reporting directly to the CEO, the City of Karratha is seeking a visionary and commercially astute executive to lead their Corporate Services Directorate at a defining moment in the City's transformation.

As Director of Corporate Services, you will oversee a broad portfolio including Finance, Information Technology, Governance & Risk, Business Performance, and Investments. This is a pivotal leadership role with both strategic and operational influence across the organisation.

You will spearhead high-impact initiatives including the City’s digital transformation program, ERP implementation, and the rollout of new Local Government regulatory reforms. With responsibility for long-term financial sustainability, business performance, and enterprise-wide systems, your leadership will shape the future of how the City serves its community.

This is your opportunity to:

• Lead transformative change in a values-driven, future-focused local government.
• Drive innovation, modernise business systems, and enhance digital capabilities.
• Optimise revenue from investments and commercial assets to reduce the rate burden.
• Embed robust governance and risk management across the City’s operations.
