  • Identify opportunities for positive media coverage and address potential media issues and risks
  • Lead, mentor and coach a small team

This role will suit someone with a curious mind, caring approach, and transferrable skills and experiences, including:

  • Strong stakeholder and community engagement skills
  • Ability to identify opportunities and mitigate reputational risks
  • Leadership skills to manage high-performing teams
  • Ability to cultivate and maintain strong working relationships with internal and external stakeholders, including senior executives
  • Strategic thinking with excellent planning and organisational abilities
  • Exceptional verbal, written communication, public presentation, and interpersonal skills
  • Negotiating and influencing skills to gain trust and motivate others

Desirable:

  • Experience with large infrastructure projects in a regulated industry
  • Experience developing and implementing partnerships with not-for-profits, academic institutions, and charitable organisations
  • Knowledge of marketing aspects of communications delivery, such as advertising, media buying and scheduling
  • Tertiary qualifications in Journalism, Communications, Public Relations, Community Development, Commerce, or Business

If you meet some of these requirements, but not all, we encourage you to submit your application.

With a career at Transurban, you'll enjoy a range of benefits, including:

  • A range of flexible working and leave options, including the option to purchase an additional six weeks of leave each year
  • 16 weeks paid parental leave (regardless of gender or carer status), with no waiting period, with Superannuation paid during unpaid leave as well
  • Learning and development opportunities to support your career interests
  • Health and wellbeing support—access to Headspace and our EAP program, wellness facilities, and more
  • Share offers and insurance benefits
  • Social activities, community give-back programs and paid volunteer days

We offer a range of flexible working and leave options, so you can balance your work and life commitments and interests. Have a conversation with us about how this could work for you.

We embrace diversity with a foundation of safety, wellbeing and inclusion; where everyone belongs. We treat everyone with fairness, consideration and respect, regardless of gender, gender identity, marital or family status, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, religious beliefs, cultural or socio-economic background, perspective, and experience – whether they work for us or not. We want to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe to express ideas, questions and concerns.
