CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
NATIONAL FILM & SOUND ARCHIVE
- UNIQUE CULTURAL INSTITUTION
- EXCITE CURIOSITY, INSPIRE CREATIVITY
- SIGNIFICANT EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION
The National Film & Sound Archive (NFSA) aspires to be the world’s premier archive of Australian film, sound and emerging media cultural heritage. Its primary responsibility is to manage the national audiovisual collection and to build, preserve, interpret and make it accessible. Located in Canberra, the NFSA is an Australian Government independent statutory authority operating under its own legislation and governed by a Board committed to building the NFSA’s profile as a first-class facility.
The opportunity exists for a highly motivated leader to make a significant contribution to this flagship institution. Working under the strategic direction of the Board and in consultation with the Minister for the Arts and his Department, you will develop the NFSA’s visionary outlook, lead a committed and strongly performing team and be responsible for the high level management and promotion of the Archive’s activities and affairs.
This is the chance to demonstrate your record of achievement at the CEO or Head of Agency level. You will do so as an inspirational and consultative leader. Your knowledge of curatorial responsibilities and a sensitivity and understanding of the wider arts and/or cultural environment will be important in the effective pursuit of opportunities and in meeting the challenges of driving growth in a climate of economic constraint and the advent of the digital deluge. Your entrepreneurial skills, energy, enthusiasm and high-class strategic and management abilities will ensure your success in guiding the future of the NFSA. Relevant professional qualifications and experience in working effectively with Boards; all levels of government; a highly motivated and skilled workforce; and the private sector are required.
