- Provide guidance to stakeholders on workforce and establishment processes, ensuring compliance with relevant governance and agency requirements.
- Prepare and coordinate briefings, advice, and supporting documentation on workforce and establishment matters to support Executive Office and organisational priorities.

What we’re looking for

- Demonstrated experience in workforce coordination, establishment management, and business support, within government or a comparable environment.
- Strong analytical and organisational skills, with the ability to maintain accurate information, identify issues, and support evidence-based decision making.
- Proven ability to build effective stakeholder relationships and coordinate activities across multiple teams and business areas.
- Experience preparing briefings, advice, correspondence, and other supporting documentation for senior or executive stakeholders.
- Ability to manage competing priorities and deliver accurate, timely outcomes in a complex setting.
