Senior local government finance leaders — a quiet tap on the shoulder.

Every so often, a role comes up that isn’t just a replacement hire it’s a deliberate leadership appointment.

At the City of Armadale, we’re looking for a Head of Finance who operates comfortably at executive level, brings strong local government credibility, and is ready to influence well beyond the finance function.

This is a hands-on, high-trust role:

Working closely with the CEO, Executive Leadership Team and Elected Members
Leading a large, capable finance team through growth, reform and system change
Shaping how the organisation plans, invests and makes decisions today and into the future

We’re interested in people who think enterprise-wide, balance stewardship with foresight, and genuinely enjoy lifting capability in systems, in teams, and in leaders.

If you’re a senior local government finance professional who:

Is already operating as a trusted executive advisor
Is known for sound judgement and calm leadership in complex environments
Is quietly thinking about what comes after your current role

…this may be worth a closer look.

💰 Circa $200,000 + car package

The role is live now, but I’m equally happy to have a confidential conversation with anyone who wants to explore whether this aligns with their longer-term leadership journey.
