  1. Relevant qualifications and/or experience and training in administration, program, and/or project administration
  2. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with strong customer service skills and an ability to effectively engage with a wide diversity of people
  3. Strong interpersonal skills with demonstrated ability to work collaboratively with a range of internal and external stakeholders to engage and maintain positive working relationships
  4. Experience in a fast-paced office environment, the ability to be flexible, demonstrate a willingness to learn, have attention to detail and maintain confidentiality

  • Flexible work arrangements to find your best work life balance
  • Continuous learning and development opportunities
  • Increase your take home pay with salary packaging of up to $15,900 in living expenses and an additional benefit of up to $2,650 in meals and entertainment
