The Reserve Bank is creating a new Senior Leadership Team (SLT) to better help it achieve its vision of ‘Great Team, Best Central Bank’.
Reserve Bank Governor Adrian Orr said the new Senior Leadership Team better balances the workload, allows Reserve Bank leaders to operate more strategically, and provides more depth in teams for growing capacity and capability.
“The Reserve Bank currently has a senior management group made up of 13 positions. The new leadership structure is focused and better aligned to how we operate as a whole - across People; Systems and Processes; Policy; and Relationship Management.”
New leadership structure
Mr Orr said bringing about the new Senior Leadership Team has implications across the Reserve Bank, and affected staff have been consulted about the changes. While some have taken new positions on the SLT or other leadership roles in the Reserve Bank, a few have elected to leave the Reserve Bank.
Appointments to Senior Leadership Team
Recruitment will begin shortly for the remaining three SLT roles.
Leadership changes
Departures
Sean Mills – (Assistant Governor and Head of Operations), Mark Perry (Head of Financial Markets), and Klarissa Plimmer (Chief Information Officer and Head of Digital Services) have elected to leave the Reserve Bank.
Bernard Hodgetts (Head of Macro-Financial Department, who is currently seconded as Director Reserve Bank Review in the Treasury) has also chosen to leave the Reserve Bank after he finishes his role leading the review.
Mr Orr said: “All four senior managers have made incredibly valuable contributions to the Reserve Bank, and I wish them well with their future endeavours.”
Reserve Bank staff have been consulted about the changes, and a process to fill all new and vacant roles is underway.
The new structure will take effect in December.
