- Provide advice to senior executives and the Minister, including preparing periodic Capital Plan and related program and/or project reports, briefing notes and general correspondence, ensuring the provision of accurate, timely and well written materials, targeted to the audience.
- Proactively manage the resolution of issues, which may result in project variations or variations to the Rail TSC.

We recognise and celebrate that everyone is unique and seek the applicant best suited to the role. We will assess your experience, knowledge and acquired skills, as well as your potential for development and your personal qualities. To thrive in this role, you will need to demonstrate the following:

- Ability to guide and support teams, foster collaboration and manage resources effectively
- Experience in managing contracts or programs, including planning reporting or coordination
- Collaboration across different teams, organisation or communities
- Ability to deliver outcomes aligned with organisational objectives
- Sound judgement and have an ability to understand and respond to different perspectives and context.
