The Net Zero Economy Authority (the Authority) is established by the Net Zero Economy Act 2024 as a statutory agency. Its mission is to empower the regions, workers, and communities most affected by Australia's transition to a net zero emissions economy to anticipate and respond to the risks and opportunities of the transition.
The Authority is a new government agency in the Prime Minister's Portfolio, led by an independent board and Chief Executive Officer.
The Authority is presently establishing itself as a separate entity, including off-boarding from the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, at which time employees will transfer under Machinery of Government (MoG) changes to the Net Zero Economy Authority. The Authority's annual Budget is approximately $55 million, with an allocated staffing level of approximately 157.
The Chief Operating Officer (COO) is accountable for the overall strategic and operational direction and management of functions of the branch.
The candidate will establish, maintain, and deliver strategies, plans, and policies to build the corporate services capabilities and systems of the Authority – initially to minimum viable product standard, and over time, to best and better practice. This is an opportunity to help build a new government entity from the ground up.
The candidate will be expected to bring a strong and adaptive client-focus to the delivery of corporate and enabling services. As a small and new government entity, it will be important that services are delivered efficiently and are responsive to the evolving needs of a nascent organization.
The candidate will report to a First Assistant Secretary but will also engage regularly with the Chief Executive Officer, Authority Executive, and Board on corporate strategy and policy, governance and legislative compliance, and corporate reporting.
The candidate will manage a branch of approximately 30 people, delivering a range of corporate services.
