Head of Retirement Strategy Delivery

Shape the Future of Retirement in Australia

At Hostplus, we're driven by a simple but powerful purpose: helping our members achieve a better retirement.

As one of Australia's leading superannuation funds, we're entering an exciting new chapter in our retirement journey. To help deliver on this ambition, we're seeking an exceptional leader to join us as Head of Retirement Strategy Delivery.

This is a rare opportunity to play a pivotal role in one of the most strategically significant priorities for our Fund. If you're energised by turning strategy into action, influencing enterprise-wide outcomes and driving real impact in a complex environment, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a 12-month maximum-term contract position.

About the Role

Reporting to the Executive Manager, Product & Retirement, you will lead the coordination, governance and execution oversight of Hostplus' Retirement Strategy across the enterprise. You will be responsible for ensuring strategic initiatives remain aligned, prioritised and on track to deliver agreed member, business and organisational outcomes.

Working across executive, business and delivery teams, you will:

• Drive the successful execution of Hostplus' Retirement Strategy across the organisation.
• Translate strategic priorities into an integrated roadmap, delivery plan and operating rhythm.
• Coordinate and manage cross-functional dependencies, risks and delivery challenges.
• Lead governance forums, prioritisation discussions and delivery oversight activities.
• Provide strategic insights, reporting and recommendations to senior executives, governance committees and the Board.
• Build alignment and accountability across business leaders, delivery teams and support functions.
• Ensure retirement initiatives remain focused on delivering meaningful outcomes for members.

This is not a traditional PMO role. You'll sit at the centre of one of Hostplus' most important strategic programs, bringing together executives, sponsors, business leaders and delivery teams to help transform our retirement ambitions into reality.

About You

You are an accomplished strategic leader with a track record of driving complex enterprise-wide initiatives from concept through to execution. You are comfortable operating in environments where influence matters more than authority and where success depends on bringing people together around a shared outcome.

• Significant experience leading enterprise-wide transformation, strategic delivery or business change initiatives.
• A proven ability to translate strategy into executable plans and measurable outcomes.
• Exceptional stakeholder management and influencing skills.
• Experience supporting executive, committee and Board-level decision making.
• Strong commercial acumen and strategic thinking capability.
• Experience within superannuation, retirement, wealth management or broader financial services.

Most importantly, you'll be someone who thrives on solving complex problems, driving accountability, creating alignment and delivering outcomes that genuinely improve members' lives.

This is an opportunity to:

• Lead one of the Fund's highest-profile strategic priorities.
• Work directly with senior executives and governance forums.
• Influence enterprise-wide decisions and outcomes.
• Help shape the retirement experience of more than a million Australians.
• Join a purpose-led organisation focused on delivering better outcomes for members.
• Be part of a high-performing team that values innovation, collaboration and impact.
