These landscapes welcome over 100 million visits each year and hold rich biodiversity and deep cultural significance. As a statutory authority of the Victorian Government, Parks Victoria is a trusted partner to Traditional Owners, local communities and stakeholders across the public and private sectors, working together to deliver positive outcomes for nature, culture and people.
This is a rare opportunity to join a purpose led organisation in a key leadership position that will shape how Victorians experience and protect the state's most treasured places for generations to come.

The Director will guide a skilled team to operate with high standards of safety, governance and accountability, while fostering a strong culture of innovation and continuous improvement. You will also play a key role in strengthening team capability through structured development, coaching and collaboration.
