Apply: Corporate Services Manager

The Southern Region Waste Resource Authority (SRWRA) is a small but strategically vital organisation supporting the Cities of Onkaparinga, Marion and Holdfast Bay in delivering sustainable waste management solutions. As a commercial entity operating in a local government landscape, SRWRA operates in a complex stakeholder environment and plays a leading role in protecting councils’ long-term waste disposal interests.

SRWRA are seeking a commercially minded and relationship-driven Corporate Services Manager to lead governance, finance, and organisational support functions.

Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, you will oversee Board and Committee operations, financial and strategic planning, IT and communications, HR and general administration. Together with the Operations Manager you will lead risk and regulatory compliance and WHS.

You’ll also play a key role in building culture, leading a multidisciplinary team, and communicating SRWRA’s value to its council partners and the broader community.

We’re looking for someone with:

• A collaborative leadership style and excellent communication skills
• The ability to manage complexity and drive continuous improvement
• A strong background in governance, finance, and stakeholder engagement
• Experience in legislative environments, ideally within local government or similar

This is a rare opportunity to make a lasting impact in a purpose-driven organisation committed to sustainability and community outcomes.
