• 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:

• 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.
