• Triage incoming work, and review and synthesise complex information to support the effective, efficient and professional office operations.
• Monitor and manage deliverables, ensuring deadlines and quality standards are met and communications are aligned across the branch.
• Collaborate across teams to support the delivery of branch priorities and initiatives, strategic planning, business performance, risk, and audit reporting.
What we're looking for:
We're looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, can juggle competing priorities, and brings a proactive, solutions-focused mindset. You'll need to demonstrate:
• High-level written communication skills, including the ability to draft and edit executive-level correspondence and documents.
• Strong judgement and prioritisation skills, with the ability to anticipate issues and drive action.
• Experience managing relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.
• A strategic mindset and political acumen to navigate complex organisational environments.
• Familiarity with, or the ability to quickly acquire knowledge of Queensland Government systems and governance frameworks is highly desirable.
What you'll bring:
• Tertiary qualifications in HR, public administration, business, or a related field, or at least 4 years' experience supporting executive offices or senior leadership teams in a large or government organisation.
• Experience preparing a variety of documents including high-level briefings and correspondence.
• Ability to quickly learn and use departmental systems.
• A commitment to inclusive, respectful, and culturally aware workplace practices.
