• Ensure the appropriate reporting of compliance breaches or potential breaches to duly authorised agencies.

• Extensive knowledge and experience in leading and managing the development and implementation of good governance practices and processes in a large public sector organisation, particularly in relation to compliance management.

• Strong leadership skills with the ability to initiate and drive continuous improvement.
• Commitment and success in planning, implementing, reviewing, and managing changes of varying complexity and scope within a large complex organisation.
