How you'll make a difference
At Alpine Shire Council we’re constantly looking for new ways to deliver the best possible outcomes for our communities, so we’re looking for people who are inquisitive and exhibit an independence of mind in their deliberations – people who can assist Council in progressing its innovative approach.
You will have:
- Qualifications in business, risk management, finance, or related discipline
- Experience in public sector management, preferably local government, or the “not for profit” sector
- Capacity to provide specialist knowledge in risk management, audit, governance and accounting/financial management

If you’re the very best candidate, we would be delighted to discuss how we can tailor meeting arrangements to suit you.
People of all abilities, ages, from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds and First Nations peoples are encouraged to apply for this position. We will provide reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process and in the workplace to support equal opportunities.
