We have an opportunity for a Communications Team Lead to be part of our Industry Strategy and Partnerships Division within the Department of Primary Industries and Regions.

The Communications Team Lead provides leadership and direction to the Communications team in the Communication and Digital Services directorate. This unit operates in a dynamic, fast-paced environment to deliver best-practice and innovative communication and digital services across the Department of Primary Industries and Regions (PIRSA).

This role is responsible for the planning, development and implementation of effective communications strategies and associated activities that increase awareness about the work of the department and amplifies across channels. This includes proactive planning of communications activities with business units, engagement with key stakeholders, identified partners and the development of high-quality communications plans, briefings and key messages as well as providing expert advice on communications issues including marketing, branding, sponsorship, industry partnerships and event management. The role is responsible for the provision of internal communications, ensuring PIRSA’s workforce is aware of requirements, successes, and opportunities.
