Join the team that shapes how the MND Family thinks about its future. As part of the Corporate Strategy team, you will help MND Senior Management make sense of complex, cross-cutting or emerging issues, connect perspectives across the MND and its Statutory Boards (i.e. MND Family), and align stakeholders around strategic priorities. This is a unique opportunity to gain exposure to how strategic issues are framed, discussed and progressed at the senior leadership level, across a wide range of challenges spanning housing, land use, urban development, municipal services, technological change, risk and resilience, while building strong foundations in strategy, stakeholder management, and enterprise risk governance. - Shape strategic priorities and decision-making Support the development and refinement of the MND Family’s medium- to long-term priorities (5–10 years) by structuring issues, synthesising perspectives, and translating strategic considerations into clear papers and discussions. - Drive cross-cutting strategy projects Lead and structure blue sky initiatives that cut across divisions and agencies - bringing together different perspectives to tackle current and emerging system-level challenges, such as public service experience in an AI-driven society. - Shape senior leadership platforms Help design and drive key forums (e.g. senior management retreats and strategic discussions), ensuring that conversations are focused on the most critical issues and lead to clear outcomes. - Strengthen organisational resilience Identify emerging risks and vulnerabilities, and work with stakeholders to develop strategies that enhance the MND Family’s ability to respond to a rapidly changing environment. - Track what matters Develop and refine ways to monitor progress on key priorities, ensuring leadership has a clear, honest view of where things stand - and where course corrections are needed.
