About the Organisation

Banjima Native Title Aboriginal Corporation is the Registered Native Title Body Corporate for the Banjima People, with the Banjima People receiving a determination of Native Title on 11 March 2014.

BNTAC is the Banjima Prescribed Body Corporate (PBC) with key responsibilities including protecting and maintaining Banjima people’s native title rights and interests, ensuring good governance practices are maintained and that traditional decision-making and Banjima law and culture are at the core of the organisation.

BNTAC’s strategic priorities encompass three core areas creating strong and healthy families, the maintenance of strong culture and connection to the country for future generations and ensuring Banjima People have a strong voice and access to opportunities that provide them with the capacity to shape and lead their own destinies.

We now have a rewarding opportunity for our next Chief Executive Officer to join the organisation and promote the BNTAC organisational vision. 

A Rewarding Role - In More Ways Than One

In addition to a competitive salary of $225,000 - $250,000 + super and the opportunity to join an organisation safeguarding land and country for the Banjima people, the successful candidate will receive access to generous salary-packaging opportunities to maximise their earning potential (click here to learn more about this scheme). 

The role also comes with dedicated parking in the building.

How You’ll Make a Difference

The primary focus of this position is to provide leadership and strategic direction within the organisation on behalf of the Board of Directors. You will manage our human, legal, financial, technical, funding and marketing resources to ensure that all executed plans are aligned with our organisational vision. This will involve managing competing priorities from a variety of stakeholders and ensuring all decisions are impartial, unbiased, and in the commercial interest of BNTAC.

You will also implement a succession plan for a trainee CEO who will be a member of the Banjima community. This is to ensure the longevity of the organisation while also contributing to the overall BNTAC vision of empowering Banjima people to shape and lead their own destinies. 

Although this role will primarily be based in our office in Perth, it is expected that the successful candidate will travel to Banjima country and other areas where Banjima people reside as required.

What You’ll Bring to the Team

To be considered for this role, you must hold an MBA or tertiary qualification in a relevant discipline. You will have a demonstrated understanding of the complex needs of a community-based Native Title organisation, with excellent negotiation skills that will enable you to navigate the diverse needs of our stakeholders and community members while remaining impartial. Experience in managing budgets, external agreements, contracts and relationships in a similar role will be critical to your success in this position. Ideally, you will also have the demonstrated ability to oversee land management, country management, and land and cultural programs. 

Although not essential, prior experience working in an Aboriginal Corporation and with Aboriginal people will be highly advantageous.
