About the opportunity

The Office Manager and Senior Procurement Officer role supports a scope of work across two branches: the Corporate - Property & Security section and Finance & Analytics - Finance & Procurement section.

Office Manager duties

Office Manager duties include responsibility for co-ordinating accommodation management tasks, delivering operational protective security risk management and service delivery, and ensuring that the Hobart office location adheres to ART policies and procedures to support operational and strategic outcomes.
