We’re entering an exciting new chapter at Water Corporation as we continue to develop and grow our Strategy and Transformation Group. It represents a step forward in how we plan and deliver services – strengthening our ability to align today’s decisions with the needs of our future business, to benefit our customers and communities, and help Western Australia thrive.
As part of this, we’re increasing our capability and recruiting for multiple new positions. This is a rare opportunity to join us at a pivotal moment and help turn strategy into action - setting clear priorities, coordinated action, and driving real change across the business.
We’re seeking talented people to support this strategic shift by bringing long-term direction, enterprise planning, operating model design, organisational change management and portfolio management into one connected, enterprise-wide system focused on delivering our Corporate Plan priorities. If you’re motivated by purposeful work, transformation and making a genuine impact across the state, there’s never been a better time to join us.
About the role:
We’re looking for an experienced Principal – Value, Performance and Insights. This is an exciting opportunity for a commercially minded and analytically strong professional who can translate complex data into strategic insight, support executive decision-making and help drive delivery of our Corporate Plan.
Reporting to the Manager – Value, Performance and Insights, you will provide subject matter expertise in enterprise performance, benefits realisation and strategic reporting. You will lead analysis of performance trends, risks and delivery metrics, develop executive-ready insights and recommendations, and help ensure the organisation has a clear and trusted view of progress, value and outcomes. You will also lead the development, embedment and refresh of the Corporate Plan as a key management tool to enable Corporate Strategy.
Real benefits that matter
Real flexibility with options to work from home or negotiate flexible work hours
An additional 2 well-being days each year
Access to long service leave pro rata after 3 years of service
Generous co-contribution superannuation scheme, which offers up to 16%. This includes an 12% standard employer contribution, plus an additional 2% employer co-contribution that matches your own 2% contribution
Purchase additional leave of up to 12 weeks or work 4 years at a reduced salary and take the fifth year off as paid leave
Discover more benefits we offer to support the unique and individual ways our employees live.

Design and improve enterprise performance frameworks including KPIs, KRIs, benefits and delivery metrics
Support governance standards and consistent application across Groups and Business Units
Maintain high-quality, assured performance data to provide a single, trusted source of truth for Executive reporting
Insight & Decision Support
