About HVCCC
Hunter Valley Coal Chain Coordinator (HVCCC) is a unique and vital organisation that works independently of individual interests to optimise the end-to-end performance of the Hunter Valley Coal Chain, one of the most complex, productive and efficient coal supply chains in the world.
On behalf of its members (the Hunter Valley coal producers and service providers), HVCCC synchronises supply chain planning and execution across a vast network of interdependent assets, from mines to vessels, using a combination of world-class modelling, forecasting, and integrated planning systems. HVCCC is proud to have been named the state winner of the Business NSW Employer of Choice Award in 2023 and the Best Workplace Award in 2024 for exceptional employee engagement, wellbeing and progress.
With a collaborative team of 65 professionals, HVCCC is guided by a newly-approved Strategic Plan (2026–2030) that positions the business for its next phase of transformation, enhancing coal chain optimisation through advanced technologies, operational resilience and people-led change.
About the role
Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and forming part of the Executive Leadership Team, the Corporate Services Manager is a critical leadership role responsible for the strategic oversight and delivery of HVCCC’s shared services functions.
The role leads a diverse portfolio including HR, finance, governance, risk, legal, safety, facilities, communications and strategic business planning. With two direct reports and oversight of external service providers, the position balances strategic leadership with high-quality service delivery across the organisation.
A key interface between management and the Board, the Corporate Services Manager provides executive-level reporting to the Board, Audit & Risk Committee and Remuneration Committee, and plays a central role in governance, policy development and organisational resilience.
This role is strategic in nature, with limited day-to-day HR administration, and a strong focus on business planning, policy, process improvement, risk management, culture, and enabling the business to operate effectively in a complex and highly regulated environment.
About you
You are a strategic, people-centred executive with the ability to see the whole organisation and understand how corporate services enable performance, culture and risk management.
You will bring:
Proven executive or senior leadership experience across corporate or shared service functions
Strong governance capability, including experience working with Boards and Committees
Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in complex, highly regulated environments
Experience leading organisational development, culture and change initiatives
Strong financial and commercial acumen, including budget accountability and risk management
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with confidence presenting at Board level
A collaborative leadership style with high emotional intelligence and a genuine care for people
Tertiary qualifications and experience in Business, Commerce or a related discipline are essential. Corporate governance qualifications (such as the AICD Company Directors Course) are desirable.
You balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution, are comfortable challenging constructively, and bring integrity, neutrality and sound judgement to every interaction.
