The job title doesn’t truly encapsulate the broadness of this role. Originally bought in temporarily as part of the initial Home Care Packages pilot, my role was to:- Establish robust systems and processes both financially and operationally as well as establishing viability of the programWhen the program not only was established to be viable, but also experienced rapid growth my role was expanded to:- Managing a cross-disciplinary team of both finance and IT roles- Stakeholder relationship management across corporate services within council- Financial management, including month end, payroll, debtors, profit and loss, month end processing of journals, budgeting and forecasting, financial modeling including scenario management and strategic planning for the proposed Support at Home Program- Benchmarking and analysis around the performance of the Home Care Packages business, as well as statutory reporting for both the Quarterly and Annual Financial reports- providing monthly reporting to the Governance group, and Project control group- Identifying and execution of opportunities for tech uplift and data insights to streamline operationsAdditionally, I played a pivotal role in the Bayside Pride Committee with a specific focus on advocating for the now established Diversity Equity and Inclusion advisory committee. I’m an incredibly passionate advocate for LGBTQIA+ and Neurodiversity issues.Most recently, I participated in the LGMA Management Challenge, and our team won against 23 other Local Governments in Victoria, and 4th Nationally against teams from around Australia and New Zealand. Our success was credited to robust systems and processes (and a particularly unhinged use of a deck of uno and swim lanes to manage tasks). I’ve excelled in this role, not only because it is a wonderful team, but also because I’ve been able to be creative about solutions and ways of working.
