**THE ROLE**

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.

**ABOUT YOU**

You lead with integrity, act with purpose, and bring the expertise and commitment needed to help deliver these urban renewal projects that are inclusive, respectful and transformative. Some of the skills, experience and mindset we're looking for include:

- Mandatory experience: minimum 5 years' experience leading communications and engagement for major projects in the government, not for profit or private sector.
- Extensive experience managing diverse stakeholder relationships including contractors, senior stakeholders, community groups, and multidisciplinary teams.
- Strong leadership, negotiation, influencing, and collaboration skills to resolve issues and drive outcomes in complex, high-risk, high-pressure environments.
- Deep knowledge of best practice in infrastructure communication, managing localised disruption and change, understanding of Victoria's planning legislation, PPPs and engagement frameworks.
