Executive Officer -Australian Automotive Service and Repair Authority

Reporting to the AASRA Board, the Executive Officer will oversee the day -to-day operations of AASRA. The EO will be responsible for developing strategic business plans, leading the ongoing development, growth and implementation of policies and ensuring the delivery of services in compliance with the overarching legislation.

The ideal candidate will have strong leadership skills, be an exceptional communicator, able to engage with and manage a diverse range of stakeholders in the automotive repair sector.
