Enhancing project reporting, knowledge sharing, and records management processes to improve transparency, efficiency and accountability.

Supporting the execution of governance activities utilising project management tools, while assisting in the day-to-day planning, prioritisation, and delivery of strategic initiatives.

Base salary range of $106,652 - $122,618; plus 12.75% superannuation, commensurate with experience. This is a fixed-term contract opportunity with commencement at the earliest possible date till 30th June 2026.

A bit about you:

You bring 5+ years of experience in portfolio or project coordination/management within complex organisations.

You’re confident navigating both Agile and Waterfall methodologies, and thrive in environments that embrace change, lean principles, and innovation – even when faced with ambiguity and shifting priorities.

You’re solutions focused and proactive, using your exceptional organisational skills to manage competing priorities with ease and bring clarity and structure to fast-paced programs, projects and initiatives.

You’re a strong communicator and relationship-builder, able to influence stakeholders, foster collaboration, and promote a One Team culture.
