  • Supporting post-project reviews and continuous improvement activities.
  • Assisting with resource planning and managing project interdependencies.
  • Championing strong governance, reporting and project management practices.
  • Supporting strategic operations, reporting and organisational planning activities.
  • Helping identify and remove barriers to project and organisational success.

About you

  • Highly organised, with strong planning and prioritisation skills.
  • Confident managing multiple tasks and competing deadlines.
  • An excellent communicator who can build positive working relationships.
  • Comfortable facilitating meetings and engaging with a range of stakeholders.
  • Proactive in identifying risks, challenges and solutions.
  • Detail-oriented with strong reporting and administrative skills.
  • Passionate about delivering high-quality outcomes and driving continuous improvement.
