Senior Manager Flood & Drainage Strategy

at  Melbourne Water

WHO WE ARE

In Melbourne, water is essential to our way of life.
As caretakers for Melbourne’s water cycle, we care for water, life and land throughout Melbourne: both its people and its biodiversity.
Each time you drink from the tap, flush a toilet, run through a yard sprinkler, or kayak down the Yarra, we’re there. Primed and ready, quietly delivering some of the world’s cleanest water for over five million residents and wildlife that call Melbourne home, just as we have for over 130 years.
If you value making it count, diving in with curiosity, and doing what’s right, you’re in the right place.

We are looking for a dynamic and experienced senior leader to join the Service Strategy team part of the Service Futures portfolio at Melbourne Water.

The purpose of Service Strategy is ‘to bring to life Melbourne Water’s vision through setting the medium to long-term horizon for Melbourne Water’s strategies and goals’ including:

• The Melbourne Water service offering and adaptive pathways for all services to transition and respond to future challenges.
• Drive strategy implementation and the evaluation of outcomes to drive performance of the service.

Reporting into the General Manager Service Strategy you will be responsible for leading the business through the development and implementation of the Flood Management Strategy to ensure responsiveness to a changing urban environment.
You will also provide strategic leadership and direction in preparing adaptive plans that enable efficient delivery of agreed service outcomes and drive performance of flood and drainage services, to protect our community and environment. We offer a hybrid working arrangement with 50% days in our 990 La Trobe Street head office or out at one of our operational sites.
Your vast experience in flood, drainage, stormwater or waterways leadership role in a local, state or federal government agency will see you excel within this dynamic Senior leadership role.
