The MAV are seeking a dynamic, diligent and dedicated Executive Officer to support the work of the Association of Bayside Municipalities.

The Association of Bayside Municipalities (ABM) is an unincorporated association, funded by and representing the interests of the councils with frontage to Port Phillip Bay. The ABM is hosted by the MAV and sits within the Climate Futures & Resilience team. The ABM’s aim is to uphold the community’s vision and values for Port Phillip Bay’s marine and coastal environment. 

Aligned to the values and priorities of the ABM, the MAV’s vision is to be a nation-leading organisation for the Victorian local government sector in strategic foresight, policy and research, leadership and governance, service design, and advocacy impact.  Our purpose is to mobilise action that supports Victorian councils to create cities, regions, and towns that are thriving, resilient, and inclusive communities.

The ABM effectively represents the collective view of member councils, providing leadership in advocacy and action for integrated coastal policy and management. It advocates for members’ interests related to regional, state, and national coastal management issues. Additionally, the ABM focuses on building the capacity of member councils to sustainably manage and influence coastal, foreshore, and marine policy, planning, and practice. It creates opportunities for networking and exchange of views among members, governments, agencies, and organisations. 

The ABM is supported by an Executive Officer, employed by the Municipal Association of Victoria. As an Executive Officer, you will support the work of the ABM through delivery of key governance requirements and strategic projects. You will contribute to policy responses and submissions relating to the ABM, research Victorian and Federal government coastal policy initiatives relevant to local government / Port Phillip Bay and identify funding / partnership opportunities available for coastal and related projects and recommend actions. 

As a key support role to the ABM, you will provide administrative and logistical support to the ABM Program and Executive Committee. This includes secretariat duties e.g. preparation of minutes, records of discussions/actions and key governance documents, and the distribution of documents to ABM members in a timely manner. The Executive Officer is also responsible for managing invoices and payments related to the ABM, supporting communications including drafting of newsletters and webpages and internal reporting.

You will also be responsible for preparing ABM grant applications / partnership proposals where appropriate, in accordance with issues identified in the Strategic Plan and managing these projects within the appropriate reporting and budget requirements.

This role is located at 1 Nicholson Street, East Melbourne, adjacent to Parliament Gardens. We offer a welcoming, healthy and inclusive workplace and a hybrid model of working from the office and working from home.
