Project Lead - Enterprise Documentation Governance

WARRRL (WA Return Recycle Renew Ltd), the not-for-profit organisation behind Containers for Change, is undertaking a strategic project to establish a clear and consistent approach to organisation-wide documentation governance and control. This work will strengthen how organisational documentation is structured, classified, owned, approved and maintained across policies, procedures, frameworks, agreements and other controlled organisational documents.
 
About the Role
 
The Project Lead will be responsible for the design and implementation of WARRRL's future documentation governance model. This involves assessing the current documentation landscape, identifying gaps and inconsistencies, and developing a practical governance framework covering hierarchy, classification, ownership, approval pathways, standards and lifecycle controls.
 
The scope will also cover a review of document management practices and supporting technologies, recommending fit-for-purpose solutions, and working with senior leaders and subject matter experts to embed new arrangements across the organisation. This work will bring greater clarity to how organisational documents are created, approved, maintained and retired, reducing duplication and inconsistency and strengthening accountability across the business.
 
About You
 
Experienced in designing and implementing enterprise governance frameworks, documentation governance models or organisation-wide documentation management programs, you bring a practical understanding of ownership, classification, approval pathways, review cycles, version control and lifecycle management.
 
You have worked at an organisation-wide level, translating governance requirements into practical frameworks, processes and controls. You build credibility with executives and stakeholders through clear communication and a collaborative approach, bringing people with you when implementing change.
 
Hands-on and delivery-focused, you're comfortable developing frameworks, templates, drafting standards and implementation approaches, and thrive in roles that require practical execution rather than advisory oversight.
