**Who are we**:
With the enactment of the Water Act 2007 (Cth), the Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) was established as an independent expertise-based statutory agency.

- support, encourage and conduct research and investigations about the Basin's water resources and dependent ecosystems
- advise the Australian Government Minister for Water Resources on the accreditation of state water resource plans
- provide water rights information to facilitate water trading across the Basin
- engage and educate the Australian community about the Basin's water resources.

**Who are we looking for**:
The Assistant Director will work closely with the EPMO Managers and business areas throughout the MDBA to plan, deliver and report on high profile programs and projects and ensure that processes are practical, robust and transparent.

In this role you will:

- Take a lead role in the proactive development of innovative technical solutions for the continuous improvement and optimisation of the MDBA strategic business planning, performance reporting and associated business systems.
- Develop and manage the annual investment cycle, work planning, budgeting and the program and project performance reporting requirements.
- Evaluate and present financial, performance and risk assessment data for a range of audiences.
- Carryout health checks on projects at any time during the lifecycle and/or as requested by the Program Board, including capability assessments.
- Evaluate and guide the prioritisation and scheduling of initiatives while providing advice and support to the team, the wider MDBA and its funding partners.
- Coordinate cross-functional internal and external resources and supervise staff as required.
- Establish and maintain effective working relationships and collaborate with a diverse range of stakeholders.
- Maintain a high level of written and oral communication including the preparation of agenda papers, presentations and briefing notes for MDBA Executive, Working Groups and high-level Committees as required.
