- Proficiency in analytical and visualisation tools such as Excel, Python/R, SPSS, Power BI, Tableau, or similar platforms
- Project management capability and comfort balancing multiple priorities.
- Strong stakeholder engagement skills: VET sector networks and experience engaging with VET policy (e.g., education/training departments, regulators) are desirable.

What you'll get in return
- Influence the direction of Australia's skills system across dynamic, creative, and service-oriented industries.
- Join a collaborative, inclusive team committed to continuous improvement and evidence-based decision-making.
- Opportunities for professional development and work with national impact.
