The City of Greater Geelong is looking to streamline its executive roles, following the decision to reduce the number of executive leadership positions from five to four.
New Geelong Council CEO Ali Wastie said the fresh team will help lead the organisation but has assured the community no frontline jobs will be lost during the change.
“While we’re exploring lots of opportunities to generate efficiencies, I do not have any mandate to cut jobs,” Ms. Wastie said.
“There will be no reduction in our amazing frontline workforce through this process.”
Ms. Wastie said the City is seeking leaders who are collaborative, inspiring, high-performing and ready to roll up their sleeves and deliver.
“We have an incredible workforce who care deeply about each other and the people they serve, and a passionate Council who really want to see us succeed.
“We’re very purpose-driven: working together for a thriving community.”
The recruitment drive also comes alongside a redesign of the five directorates into four key focuses, involving placemaking, city life, city infrastructure and corporate services.
All four positions are open to the market, with existing leaders invited to apply.
