Job description:

About the role

Our Disruptions team are looking for a Project Coordinator- Occupations and Disruptions with particular skills in data analysis and problem solving to join their award-winning team. We are looking for someone who can help this small team continue to kick goals and bring a focus to the detail of our complex disruptions portfolio.

As the Project Coordinator, Occupations and Disruptions, you will be an organised, data driven individual who can deal with an ever-changing environment.

On a day-to-day basis, you will find yourself:

• Working across a variety of projects across Victoria with opportunities to challenge the status quo.
• Developing dashboards on Excel and Power BI that will be widely distributed with key content of upcoming LXRP occupations.
• Proactively support the disruptions team by applying analysis and detail to inform innovative thinking.

This is a three (3) year fixed term position, paying a salary between $97,955 - $111,142 + superannuation with hybrid working arrangement (a mix of office and home/remote based working). The office you will be working from is in Melbourne's CBD and you will also have the option to access flexible working arrangements if you need them - many LXRP employees work flexibly.

Your working week will be varied each week - you will need to split your time between working in the office, working on site offices as required and working from home.

You will be working within a small but effective team in the Occupations and Disruptions space. Your team won the Innovation of the Year Award in 2022 for challenging the traditional approach to replacement services - did you hear of the Ferry running from Geelong to Docklands during a disruption? We also won the CEO LXRP Team of the Year in 2024!

Your manager, Thomas Alemis, has over five years' experience in Occupations and Disruptions - as a manager, he is supportive, encourages constant learning and enjoys developing a strong relationship with his team. He encourages you to speak your mind and share new ideas and will empower you to make decisions!

About you

Let's get technical - what skills do we expect you to have?

• Knowledge and experience in Excel and Power BI.
• Loves interacting and dealing with internal and external stakeholders on a regular basis.
• Experience using data to inform decision making approaches.
• Effective time management.

We actively strive to remove barriers and encourage applications from people of any age, or disability, Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islanders, culturally and linguistically diverse or LGBTIQA+.
