Our client is a well-regarded Victorian public sector organisation that delivers a year-round program of performing arts and community engagement. They need a Governance and Policy Officer to keep their governance, policy and contract management functions running smoothly. This is a hands‑on, business‑as‑usual role. The frameworks, policy register and templates are already in place, so you’ll focus on administering and executing what’s there under the direction of the Director, Corporate Services. You’ll join a small, supportive team.
What you’ll be doing
- Maintaining the policy register, tracking review and expiry dates, and coordinating policy approvals.
- Administering the contract management framework, including uploading and maintaining contracts in the contract portal.

- Supporting the preparation of Trust and Subcommittee papers using existing templates.
- Keeping governance and policy resources up to date on SharePoint and Teams.

- You’re comfortable managing your own workload and confident working independently under direction.
- You communicate clearly and build good relationships with stakeholders and external advisers.
- You’re proficient in Microsoft 365, particularly SharePoint and Teams.
