**About the team**

An exciting opportunity exists for an Assistant Project Officer to join the Customer Experience & Program Delivery (CXPD) stream in the Better Regulation Division (BRD). The CXPD stream is a newly established team that will deliver priority and strategic programs across the business which aligns with strategic direction and executive priorities.

We are changing the way regulation is done in NSW Government and aim to leave a legacy where we deliver a true customer and community first approach through our regulators including SafeWork, Fair Trading and the Building and Property Commissions.

**How can a regulator be customer centric?**

How do we better understand the needs of our customers and not simply adopt a one approach for everyone? How do we improve and streamline our processes to reduce lengthy delays that can impact our basic human needs of shelter and a safe place to live?

This brand new team will work from the inside out to combine customer experience with program delivery to achieve a harmonious balance between delivering on our role as a regulator but ensuring that the customer is always first.

**Programs of work, not just the day to day**

Whilst we have big goals to achieve in modernising customer centric practices and delivering on daily outcomes, the scope to work on some diverse programs and build a function from the beginning is an exciting opportunity.

These roles will support the transformation of the internal strategic direction of BRD including:

- designing, delivering, and coordinating key strategic or regulatory projects

- delivering business implementation and transformational change activities.

This is a fantastic opportunity for those who have demonstrated experience in supporting strategic business projects and initiatives, can develop relationships across a diverse range of internal and external stakeholders, and possess strong written and verbal communication skills. The roles require you to be flexible, highly organised and adaptable to changing priorities and ad-hoc requests.

**Key challenges**
- Flexibility responding to changing priorities and timelines
- Limited access to senior stakeholders
- Fast-paced hybrid project methodology.

**To be successful in this role you will be able to demonstrate**:

- Ability to support all facets of project and program management including project proposals, documentation, governance, reporting and evaluation
- Communication, collaboration and coordination skills, to liaise with relevant stakeholders regarding project status and implementation issues
- Demonstrated ability to quickly establish and build positive and productive relationships across teams and business areas
- Provide a range of secretariat and administrative services, including coordinating committee meetings and preparing papers, to support project management delivery
- Strong problem-solving skills with a solution focused collaborative approach
- Proven experience being responsive to shifting priorities and the ability to be agile and flexible, delivering outcomes quickly.
