About the role

The Department of Justice is seeking an outstanding senior executive to lead its Corporate Services portfolio and play a key role in shaping the future capability and performance of one of Western Australia’s most significant public sector agencies.

Reporting directly to the Director General and as a member of the Department’s senior leadership, the Assistant Director General Corporate Services provides strategic leadership across the critical enabling functions that underpin the delivery of justice services throughout Western Australia.

This is a broad and influential executive role with responsibility for human resources, finance, infrastructure and major projects, change and project management, procurement, knowledge management and information technology, together with associated risk management, audit and governance responsibilities. These responsibilities are distinct from the Department's independent audit and risk functions. The portfolio directly influences the Department's capacity to deliver effective, sustainable and responsive services to the Western Australian community.

Leading through an experienced team of senior executives, you will drive organisational performance and continuous improvement, strengthen corporate capability and ensure the Department is positioned to respond to changing service demands, emerging risks and future workforce, infrastructure and technology requirements.

You will be a trusted adviser to the Director General and an influential leader across the Department and broader public sector. You will bring strategic judgement, commercial and organisational acumen, and the ability to navigate complexity, build strong partnerships and translate strategy into practical and sustainable outcomes.

This is an opportunity for an accomplished executive to make a significant contribution to the performance and future direction of the Department and, through strong corporate leadership, support the delivery of a fair, just and safe community for all Western Australians.

Why join the team?

When you join the Department of Justice, you become part of a people-focused organisation, working hard to make our community a fairer and safer place to live. We offer many different employment opportunities in locations around Western Australia. You will have a chance to make a real difference to your local communities and to the lives of those you work with.
