As a key member of the PWSS executive, the Chief Learning and Communications Officer (CLCO) leads services which allow the agency to function efficiently and effectively and deliver on its priorities. The CLCO is responsible for overseeing the agency’s data analytics, communications and media, PWSS Academy, and strategic functions. The position also provides support to the IPSC Commissioners, ensuring they can conduct their investigations independently. In leading these functions, the CLCO supports effective delivery of business outcomes, enhances organisational performance, and supports the overall strategic objectives of the PWSS.
The role requires an effective leader with significant change management experience, who can gain others trust and respect to build and guide a cohesive, highly skilled team.
The CLCO works to the Deputy Chief Executive Officer and provides high level advice to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and other key stakeholders. Informed by a keen sense of risk, and with the PWSS reputation front of mind, the CLCO plays a critical role in shaping the organisational culture, governance and operational strategy. This role requires an effective leader with a proven ability to work collaboratively. To be successful, you will demonstrate a strong strategic focus and have excellent stakeholder relationship skills.
Effective collaboration and engagement with a wide range of stakeholders regarding sensitive matters in a politically charged environment will be a core feature of the role.
