Job description

We are seeking Law Interpretation Directors to join our Frontline Compliance team.

As a Law Interpretation Director, you will manage highly complex cases and issues to achieve key strategic goals, quality outcomes and deliver results. Your leadership will encourage ongoing capability development through coaching and mentoring others, providing performance feedback, conflict resolution and encouraging career development.

The roles will be in our Operational Policy, Assurance and Law (OPAL) branch or our Strategic Recovery and Insolvency (SRI) branch.

OPAL provides authoritative administrative law and policy advice, develops and maintains ATO administrative policy, and ensures Frontline Operations' systems, processes and decisions are law conformant and support consistent, client focused tax administration.

SRI manages the ATO's highest risk and most complex debts by developing tailored recovery strategies, providing expert advice on the resolution of emerging issues, partnering across the ATO to maximise debt collection, leveraging novel and exploratory recovery powers and strengthening the ATO's response to high-risk insolvencies.

OPAL roles may be offered on an ongoing or non-ongoing basis in Adelaide, Brisbane CBD, Melbourne CBD or Newcastle. SRI roles may be offered on an ongoing or non-ongoing basis in Brisbane CBD or Melbourne CBD. Frontline Compliance supports flexible working arrangements, including working from other offices where Frontline Compliance has a presence on an ad hoc basis, subject to operational requirements.

We embrace the strength of diversity - through our people and the perspectives they bring.

We are committed to inclusive recruitment practices and encourage applications from people with disability or neurodivergence, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and individuals from all backgrounds. Reasonable adjustments can be provided throughout the selection process.

The Australian Taxation Office is recognised by the Australian Disability Network as a Disability Confident Recruiter employer . This status is an annual achievement and valid for 12 months from the date of issue.
