Public Sector Candidates – Strategic


Sustainability Advisor

Built with the resilience of old-world craftsmanship and the innovation of tomorrow’s green dreamers, this candidate is a true steward of sustainability and waste management — with the scars (and spreadsheets) to prove it.

From council to council and then across to Melbourne’s government corridors, they’ve turned waste into wisdom, contracts into community victories, and messy data into clear, strategic action. Managing multi-million-dollar waste contracts? Done. Steering kerbside collections for over 40,000 tenements? Just another Tuesday. Spearheading B Corp certifications and whispering compliance sweet nothings to the EPA? Absolutely.

A rare hybrid of gritty operational know-how, razor-sharp stakeholder diplomacy, and a mind that can dance between compost bins and cloud servers with ease. Not afraid to roll up sleeves — or lead a strategy review — this professional knows that real sustainability isn’t born in boardrooms or LinkedIn posts; it’s hammered out in negotiations, community meetings, audits, and sometimes even while fixing a kerbside recycling hiccup at 7 a.m.

Trained in both the art of the circular economy and the battle-hardened trenches of IT and energy-tech, this candidate brings a fiercely practical, quietly visionary perspective to everything they touch. (And yes, they still believe a handshake means something.)

Whether it’s waste recovery, stakeholder wrangling, data alchemy, or strategic contract management, they’re not just ticking boxes — they’re writing a new playbook, one page at a time.

If your council is ready to step beyond greenwashing into real environmental leadership, this candidate is ready to lead the charge — clipboard in hand, boots on the ground, and a knowing smile for the battles ahead.

Senior Business Analyst

Meet a numbers whiz with a people-first mindset—this powerhouse graduate blends sharp financial acumen with standout customer service and administrative flair. With a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting and an impressive line-up of Diplomas (yes, plural), they’re not just chasing spreadsheets—they’re chasing efficiency, accountability, and community impact.

Over a decade of experience across finance, payroll, admin, and customer service—from bustling government departments to busy builders’ offices and frontline pharmacy counters—means they’ve seen it all and kept things running smoother than a reconciled ledger. Need someone who can finalise a payroll run, explain financial reports, AND keep stakeholders smiling? Look no further.

This candidate thrives under pressure (tight deadlines? Bring them on), adapts faster than a browser update, and never misses the details that matter. They bring a proven knack for solving problems before they escalate, keeping compliance tight and customer satisfaction even tighter. Think dependable, diligent, and just the right amount of delightful.

A natural fit for local government—where precision meets people—this is someone ready to jump in, back the team, and champion smart, community-first outcomes. If you’re after brains, heart, and a can-do attitude that won’t quit, this is your person.

Available with three-weeks’ notice and living in Victoria’s beautiful regional southeast corner.
