About CSIRO

As Australia's national science agency, CSIRO is solving the greatest challenges through innovative science and technology. Many of our iconic innovations were once considered impossible until someone, just like you, joined us and took on the challenge.

The opportunity

CSIRO is seeking a Program Coordinator to support the delivery of a strategic program transforming how data is governed, managed, accessed and used across the organisation.

The Data Modernisation Program is strengthening CSIRO’s data capabilities to enable trusted, accessible and data-driven decision-making. Bringing together business, data and digital transformation activities, the program will establish stronger foundations for advanced analytics, AI adoption and enterprise-wide data sharing.

Working closely with the Program Manager, project managers, IMT delivery teams, business stakeholders, and the Digital Portfolio Office, you will provide high-quality coordination across program governance, reporting, planning,



records management and stakeholder engagement.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a complex, organisation-wide transformation program while working across diverse projects, technical teams and business areas.

Your high-level duties will include:

- Coordinate program governance activities, including agendas, papers, minutes, decisions and action tracking.
- Support program planning and controls by tracking milestones, deliverables, dependencies, risks, issues and emerging priorities.
- Prepare clear and timely program reporting and documentation to support decision-making and governance.
- Maintain accurate program information, records and registers, including an active program lessons register, to support transparency and auditability.
- Support financial reporting, advantages tracking, assurance activities and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Build effective working relationships with project teams, business stakeholders, delivery partners and subject matter experts to support coordinated program outcomes.
- Coordinate discrete pieces of work and small initiatives in line with CSIRO practices.
- Maintain program and transactional records across relevant CSIRO systems, including O2D and Altus.
