Governance Coordinator

Canberra | Long-term Contract | Commonwealth ICT Environment

- Coordinate governance, reporting, actions, risks and service information
- Work across technical teams and senior Commonwealth stakeholders
- Ideal for an experienced Governance Officer, PMO Coordinator or Project Support skilled

About the role

We are seeking an experienced Governance Coordinator to support a long-term ICT services environment within the Australian Government.

This is a hands-on coordination role focused on keeping governance activities, reporting, actions, risks, documentation and stakeholder inputs organised and moving.

You will work closely with technical teams, service providers and Commonwealth stakeholders to ensure information is current, actions are followed through and emerging issues are visible.

This is not a technical leadership or program management role. It would suit someone who enjoys bringing structure to a busy environment and is confident coordinating activity across multiple stakeholders.

What you’ll be doing

- Coordinate inputs for monthly service and governance reporting
- Maintain action, risk, issue and dependency registers
- Track agreed actions and follow up outstanding items
- Prepare agendas, meeting papers, minutes and action records
- Coordinate information across technical teams and stakeholders
- Maintain governance documentation and key service artefacts
- Identify reporting gaps, overdue actions and emerging issues
- Support recurring governance and service management forums
- Assist with continuous improvement activities
- Maintain visibility of activities, risks, dependencies and priorities

What we’re looking for

You will ideally have experience in areas such as:

- Governance or project coordination
- PMO or project support
- Risk, issue and action management
- Reporting and briefing preparation
- Meeting coordination and secretariat support
- Document and knowledge management
- Stakeholder coordination
- Commonwealth, Defence or another highly governed environment





You will need strong written communication skills, excellent attention to detail and the confidence to follow up actions with a range of stakeholders.

Experience working within ICT or technology environments would be highly regarded, but you do not need to be a technical specialist.

What will make you successful

You will be someone who:

- Keeps actions and commitments moving
- Produces clear and accurate reporting
- Is organised and comfortable managing competing priorities
- Builds effective relationships with stakeholders
- Identifies gaps or risks early
- Knows when to follow up and when to escalate
- Brings structure without creating unnecessary process

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Governance Officer, PMO Coordinator, Project Coordinator or Project Support Officer looking to take on a broader governance role within a complex Commonwealth ICT environment.
