The Opportunity

At APA, our purpose is to secure Australia’s energy future. We’re not doing it alone. We’re doing it with our customers and communities as Australia’s energy infrastructure partner, a role our unique experience and expertise positions us to play.

- Oversee the development and continuous improvement of APA's gas and electricity market outlooks, forecasts and energy transition scenarios.

- Proven ability to translate complex analytical, technical or market information into clear, actionable recommendations for non-technical audiences.
- Experience presenting insights, strategic recommendations and business cases to senior leadership and executive audiences.
- Strong commercial acumen, with the ability to connect market developments to business opportunities, risks and strategic outcomes.
