Job description

Mirvac is an Australian property group with a clear purpose: to reimagine urban life. For more than 50 years, we've been creating exceptional homes, workplaces, retail destinations and communities where people can thrive. Our people are at the heart of what we do, and we foster a culture where innovation, sustainability and collaboration drive meaningful impact.

We're looking for a Director, Climate Transition to join Mirvac's Sustainability team.

We've built a strong body of work across climate transition, resilience, nature, and environmental performance, and established a clear strategic direction.

The opportunity now is to integrate that work, monitor progress, and help us navigate the next generation of climate-related opportunities, risks, and decisions.

Reporting to the Group General Manager, Sustainability, you'll lead our climate transition programme and the environment team. You'll help ensure our climate, resilience, nature, and environmental priorities remain commercially credible, clearly communicated, appropriately governed, and capable of being monitored over time.

You'll be part of a strong, diverse community of practice in our internal Sustainability Network. You'll also closely with Investments, Asset Management, Development, Finance, and Risk, helping connect existing technical work to business decisions, executive discussions, and Board oversight.

In this role you will:

  • Lead the evolution and oversight of Mirvac's climate transition programme and transition plan.
  • Evolve our climate, resilience, nature, offsets, and disclosure requirements approach.
  • Translate complex topics into clear decisions, trade-offs, risks, and priorities for leaders.
  • Oversee the environment team and help ensure priorities, resources, and delivery plans remain aligned and achievable.
  • Identify emerging strategic issues and test existing approaches against changing market, policy, customer, and climate scenarios.

Your point of difference

We're looking for a collaborator who combines strategic thinking with sound judgement, and commercial pragmatism.

You'll likely bring experience in climate transition, resilience, sustainability, property, investment, or a related field within a large organisation.

Just as importantly, you'll be someone who:

  • Can connect ideas, people, and workstreams, rather than working in silos.
  • Knows how to simplify complex topics.
  • Can bring structure, sequencing, and calm leadership to a large, cross-functional programme.
  • Can engage confidently with executive leaders and Boards.
  • Understands that progress often comes from influence and collaboration rather than authority.
  • Balances ambition with pragmatism.
  • Builds trust quickly and welcomes diversity of thought.

Most of all, we're looking for someone who is commercially credible, low ego, collaborative, thoughtful, and able to help us keep turning good strategy into effective delivery.
