- A background in making major contribution in unison with the General Manager of the Archdiocese. This will include well-honed relationship management skills in order to connect with, and advise, a broad array of stakeholder groups.
- Experience in overseeing property related projects would be advantageous as there is a significant property development at the Catholic Centre, the epispiritual centre of the Archdiocese and the Church’s regional management and administration functions.
- CA or equivalent qualification is required.
- Experience in the NFP/NGO sector and/or evidence of alignment with operating in a values driven entity would beeb advantageous.
