The Victorian Government Solicitor's Office (VGSO) serves the rule of law exclusively for the State.

Our place within government ensures we are at the centre of legal change, reform and problem-solving. We operate as a service-driven legal professional practice and strive for excellence in this competitive environment. We role-model the Victorian Public Sector values and VGSO's Our Compass pillars, which guides how we work together in everything we do: Proud of what we do; Value every voice; Learn, grow, thrive; Always evolving; Act with care.

About the branch
Led by the Chief Operating Officer (COO), the Corporate Services branch plays a crucial role in enabling VGSO's overall success by providing essential support and strategic guidance to enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness.

Reporting to the Victorian Government Solicitor and as a key member of the Executive Leadership Team (ELT), you will position Corporate Services as a trusted partner to the organisation. You will enable effective operations and provide strategic advice on organisation-wide priorities, ensuring VGSO delivers on its purpose.

You will lead multidisciplinary teams across finance, technology, knowledge management, communications, marketing, governance and business services, driving innovation, continuous improvement and transformation across systems, processes and organisational capability.
