Relocation support is available for eligible candidates including up to $4,000 in relocation reimbursement and up to $2,000 in temporary accommodation support, subject to Council approval and conditions.

The Opportunity
As Coordinator Revenue Services, you will lead, develop and manage the Revenue team, ensuring high performance, operational effectiveness and a consistent approach to service delivery.

You will oversee Council’s revenue systems, rating structures and processes, while providing specialist advice across revenue, rates, fees and charges, debt recovery and related financial matters.

This is a hands-on leadership role where your ability to support and develop your team will be just as important as your technical revenue expertise.

• Overseeing revenue systems, rating structures and processes to ensure accurate billing, collection and legislative compliance
• Providing expert revenue and financial advice to internal stakeholders and the community

• Identifying opportunities to improve revenue practices, systems and service delivery
• Supporting effective resource management across the Revenue Services function
• Building strong working relationships across Financial Services, Council and the broader community
• Supporting the development of team capability, knowledge sharing and succession planning
• Ensuring accurate records, sound governance and compliance with relevant legislation and Council policies

About You
You will be an experienced revenue or accounting professional who understands the complexities of revenue management and is confident leading a team in a local government or similar environment.

You’ll bring strong technical capability, but equally important will be your ability to lead people, build relationships and identify practical opportunities to improve the way revenue services are delivered.

You’ll bring:

• Demonstrated experience in revenue accounting, rating legislation, debt recovery and/or related financial services
• Strong understanding of rates, fees and charges and revenue processes
• Proven people leadership and team management capability
• Strong analytical, conceptual and problem-solving skills
• The ability to interpret legislation, financial standards and Council policies and translate these into practical outcomes
• Strong communication, consultation, negotiation and stakeholder management skills
• Experience developing and improving policies, procedures and operational processes
• Strong financial systems capability and sound organisational and time management skills
• The ability to provide practical financial advice and work collaboratively across a range of stakeholders
• A proactive approach to continuous improvement and team development
• A strong commitment to professional and ethical conduct

You will also hold:

• Tertiary qualifications in Business, Accounting or a related discipline
• Substantial experience in a revenue management or accounting-focused position
• Strong experience across financial and revenue management systems, with TechOne and Pathway experience highly regarded
• A current C Class driver licence

Previous experience within a local government environment will be highly regarded, particularly experience across rates, revenue, recovery and property-related functions.
