REF: EPAsii1126

The Position

EPA Victoria is strengthening its position as a modern, intelligence-led, science-led and risk-based regulator that anticipates emerging risks, prevents harm before it occurs and directs regulatory effort where it can make the greatest difference.

The Director, Strategic Intelligence & Insights will lead the change in how EPA understands risk, uses evidence, makes decisions and provides strategic insight to support regulatory effectiveness, organisational capability and environmental and circular economy outcomes.

The role reports to the Executive Director, Strategy, Capability and Circular Economy, with responsibility for leading EPA's intelligence, insights and advanced analytics functions.

The Director will provide enterprise leadership and develop productive relationships across EPA, government, co-regulators, scientific institutions and industry partners to strengthen intelligence-sharing, expand organisational insight and support coordinated responses to complex regulatory and environmental challenges.

Success in this role requires collaboration across the organisation and stakeholder environment, and values-driven people leadership.

Experience in a government / regulatory environment is highly regarded.

The role requires exceptional analytical capability, strong systems-thinking skills and experience translating complex information, and intelligence, into effective strategy, policy and operational outcomes. This Director must move beyond describing the problem to shaping EPA's response.

This is an exceptional opportunity to influence enterprise-wide decision making and drive lasting environmental and community wide impact.

The Organisation

EPA Victoria works to prevent and reduce the harmful impacts of pollution and waste on people and the environment. As an independent statutory authority and Victoria's environmental regulator, EPA plays a critical role in protecting environmental and public health outcomes across the state.

A values and purpose-driven organisation, EPA works alongside community, government and industry to deliver positive outcomes for all Victorians, improving environmental protection, sustainable industries and community wellbeing.
