Why this role?

Shape Australia’s policy and research agenda as CEO of a national peak body
Deliver a clear and ambitious strategy with strong Board and Fellowship support
Build a long-term, diversified, and sustainable funding model
Contribute to a mission of national significance: elevating social science for the benefit of Australia

The Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia is seeking a Chief Executive Officer of a nationally significant institution at a time when social science has never been more critical to Australia’s prosperity, resilience, and policy direction.

This is a rare opportunity to partner with the President and Board to deliver the Academy’s 2026–2030 Strategic Plan, elevate its national influence, and strengthen its impact across research, government, and public domains.

Connecting Australia to global research networks

The role

Reporting to the President, the CEO will:

Lead delivery of the Academy’s Advise, Support, and Engage strategic pillars
Act as a senior broker across government, academia, and the broader policy ecosystem
Drive revenue diversification and philanthropy, including establishing a formal giving program
Manage a high-performing National Office team (~9 FTE)
Build trusted relationships with senior officials, parliamentarians, and sector leaders

About you

You are a strategic and outward-facing leader who can operate confidently across policy, research and public domains.

You will bring:

Significant senior executive leadership experience
Strong government and stakeholder engagement capability
Commercial and/or philanthropic acumen
Experience translating strategy into delivery
Outstanding communication and relationship-building skills
A genuine interest in the role of social science in public policy and national outcomes

Experience in research, higher education, public administration or a related field will be highly regarded.
