ABOUT THE ROLE:
Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, the Operations Manager will support the CEO in effectively and efficiently managing the day-to-day operations of the Corporation.
The Operations Manager will coordinate, integrate, monitor and review Wilinggin Aboriginal Corporation (WAC) activities across Wilinggin Country and oversee a number of programs, including cultural heritage, ranger and fire programs, determining standards and ensuring that all activities are compatible with service objectives and management responsibilities. This is a high-level oversight role with a primary focus on supporting program managers and staff in delivering exceptional outcomes for the organisation, its members and external stakeholders.
The Operations Manager will also lead the program management team and ensure a close liaison and working relationship across the region and between specialist teams to provide for an integrated and effective delivery of services. The role will liaise internally and externally with existing and future management partners, stakeholders and community groups regarding program delivery and execution of management commitments.
ABOUT THE CORPORATION:
WAC was established in 2006 and is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of Ngarinyin Traditional Owners with the broad objective to further the interests of Ngarinyin People and Wilinggin Country. WAC represents the Traditional Owners of the Wanjina Wunggurr Wilinggin Native Title Area and is a related organisation and agent of our Wanjina Wunggurr Prescribed Body Corporate.
Wilinggin country covers approximately 63,000km2 (6.3 million hectares) of land in the Central North Kimberley region of Northern Australia and is the country that has been home to Ngarinyin people for many thousands of years. WAC has a workforce of 30 to 35 people who are tasked to take care of country, culture and heritage and bush fire management.
WAC is a not-for-profit organisation that has, in the last five years, grown from three staff and a turnover of $500k to some 25 staff and a turnover of some $10m, based on a strong focus on high-integrity operations and alignment with our cultural and environmental obligations.
