GENERAL MANAGER
The Dairy Authority of SA was established in 1993. Its primary function is to ensure the safety and quality of the production and processing of dairy products in SA by monitoring standards and providing efficient, professional and reliable guidance to the dairy industry. The Dairy Authority approves food safety arrangements and accredits dairy farmers, dairy manufacturers, dairy distributors and dairy produce carriers.
Reporting to the Dairy Authority Board, this critical leadership role will have responsibility for :-
- developing and implementing corporate plans to ensure the Authority meets its legislative requirements and the needs of the dairy industry;
- ensuring the proper management of the Authority's financial resources, arranging for the collection of statistics and preparing the annual report;
- leading a small team to achieve defined outcomes in areas such as accreditation, revenue collection and customer service;
- managing a variety of stakeholder expectations including those of the Minister as well as national, interstate and local industry organisations, government departments and food safety regulatory bodies;
- undertaking inspections and audits of accredited dairy industry participants.
This position will suit an accomplished general manager with relevant experience in a regulatory environment. Drive, energy, resilience and genuine leadership and stakeholder management capabilities will be critical personal qualities in the appointee. Equally important for success in the role will be high level written and oral communication skills, superior influencing and negotiation abilities, a sound knowledge of corporate governance and strong commercial and political acumen. Technical knowledge within the food safety industry would be a distinct advantage.
This is a rare opportunity to make a valuable contribution to this pivotal SA organisation as it delivers an important service to the South Australian community.
