The Opportunity
Coal LSL is an Australian Government corporation; purpose driven to regulate and manage long service leave entitlements on behalf of eligible employees.
Reporting to the Chief Innovation & Strategy Officer, the Strategy and Planning Manager leads the development and implementation of strategic and operational plans that align the organisation toward its long-term goals.
You’ll guide the strategic planning process, facilitate executive engagement, and drive delivery of high-priority initiatives that make a difference. This role is perfect for a strategic thinker and natural influencer who thrives on collaborating with senior stakeholders, can confidently shape conversations toward optimal outcomes, and knows how to make strategy meaningful, not just theoretical.
Most importantly, you’ll join an organisation that values trust, flexibility and impact. In this friendly and supportive work environment, you’ll enjoy extraordinary benefits such as flexible hybrid working including compressed work weeks, generous paid parental leave, state of the art office located at the transport interchange and a high performing team culture.
Key Responsibilities
In this influential role, you’ll be responsible for turning strategy into action by leading planning processes, aligning teams around shared goals, and ensuring the organisation delivers on its strategic priorities. With a strong focus on collaboration and clarity, you’ll help drive measurable outcomes that support Coal LSL’s long-term vision.
- Lead the strategic and business planning processes across the organisation
- Align cross-functional teams to strategic priorities and monitor delivery
- Oversee development and evolution of Coal LSL’s strategy and delivery frameworks
- Report on performance through tools like the balanced scorecard
- Facilitate strategy sessions and performance reviews with senior leaders
- Bring clarity and confidence to the ‘what’s next’, ensuring initiatives are tracked, executed, and realised
What You’ll Bring
To thrive in this role, you’ll be a confident communicator and strategic thinker with the ability to influence at all levels. Specifically, you’ll bring:
- Experience engaging and influencing senior stakeholders with credibility
- A background in program management, strategy or transformation
- Outstanding communication, facilitation and storytelling skills
- Experience in designing and implementing comprehensive corporate plans
- A team mindset where you work across boundaries and bring people with you
- Experience leading a team and supporting continuous improvement
- Experience in government or regulated environments is highly valued
The Bigger Picture
Coal LSL is undergoing a whole-of-organisation transformation across regulation, technology, data and process. While this role doesn’t sit within that program, your strategic lens and alignment mindset will be key to ensuring the organisation stays focused and coordinated during this exciting period of change.
If you bring a track record of developing and delivering strategic initiatives, leading programs of work, or navigating transformation in regulated or government environments, this is your next career move.
