Chief Executive Officer
We are looking for an experienced leader who embodies feminist principles, has significant experience in leading change and has proven experience in the oversight of organisation governance, strategy and operational leadership, to support the Board to guide our organisation into its next chapter.
Why WRISC
At WRISC, leadership is values driven, with the foundations being grounded in Innovation, Integrity, Respect and Trust. We seek a CEO committed to applying an intersectional feminist lens across governance, culture, and service delivery. This means championing trauma-informed, culturally safe, and survivor-centred approaches.
What We’re Looking For
The role calls for a systems thinker who is client-focused and goal-oriented, able to translate broad objectives into achievable actions. You listen deeply, anticipate challenges, and apply evidence-based strategies to drive organisational performance and deliver meaningful outcomes for clients and the organisation.
We value strong business and financial acumen. You will bring expertise in governance, strategic leadership, financial management, and organisational operations, integrating these areas with fairness and transparency. Strategic and financial decisions must align with sustainability and the collective wellbeing of stakeholders.
Leading change is central to this role. You model integrity, champion WRISC’s mission, and build teams grounded in trust. Resilience and creativity are essential as you analyse, plan and implement client centred strategic and operational changes.
Finally, we seek a collaborative influencer who motivates others and guide continuous improvement with care. You understand how attitudes and actions shape organisational culture and inspire commitment through empathy and inclusion.
The Opportunity
Over the next two years, you will lead WRISC with empathy, integrity and passion, shaping a sustainable and innovative organisation that is underpinned by feminist principles
