Communication and Engagement Manager X3

5 days ago

Melbourne City Centre, Australia Department of Families, Fairness and Housing Full time

**THE ROLE**

Homes Victoria's high-rise redevelopment program will provide homes for 30,000 people, improve the urban amenity of inner-city precincts, foster thriving and inclusive communities and capitalise on the housing potential of the well-located sites.

The Communications and Engagement Manager will lead communications and engagement with impacted communities during major redevelopment projects throughout planning, procurement and delivery.

Tasked with enhancing the level of coordination and impact at some of Victoria's most complex redevelopment sites, this role is pivotal in ensuring that community and project outcomes are not just upheld but continually improved.

Operating at the intersection of construction delivery, stakeholder management, and social licence preservation, the Manager will work collaboratively alongside program communications, engagement, delivery and contractor teams to align communication and engagement efforts with broader program goals. With authority to challenge conventional practices and advocate for the needs of impacted communities, this role ensures that the balance between localised community outcomes and large-scale program delivery is consistently achieved.

This is a role for highly experienced communications leader-someone who can drive meaningful change, elevate the standard of stakeholder engagement, and limit long-term risks to program delivery. It is an opportunity to lead with impact, ensuring that the Big Housing Build delivers not just homes but thriving, resilient communities.

**ACCOUNTABILITIES INCLUDE**
- Lead the development and implementation of place-based communication and engagement strategies for construction and delivery projects across Homes Victoria's redevelopment precincts.
- Collaborate with program-wide communication and engagement teams to align localised strategies with broader social licence objectives.
- Provide strategic advice to the Director of Project Communication on project-specific communication challenges and opportunities.
