You'll be someone who thrives under pressure, is fluent in the media and digital landscape, and understands how to navigate the public sector and regulatory environment. Experience with high-risk issues and crisis communication is essential.

You'll be advising the Director of Strategic Communications, the OIR Executive, the Minister's Office and other senior stakeholders - so credibility, composure and strategic thinking are a must.

You'll be responsible for:

  • Leading and mentoring a high-performing media and digital team.
  • Driving proactive media planning and issue/crisis communication response.
  • Managing relationships with media outlets, journalists and key internal stakeholders.
  • Monitoring the media and digital environment to identify risks and opportunities.
  • Delivering or supporting integrated campaigns across media, digital, social and stakeholder channels.
  • Writing and reviewing high-quality content: speeches, media releases, briefs and editorials.
  • Managing the out-of-hours media service and when required supporting media training for executives and technical spokespeople.
  • Embedding a strong risk-based model for workload, team resourcing and communications delivery.
  • Contributing to a team culture of accountability, action and strategic alignment.

What we're looking for:

  • Proven media expertise with a strong risk lens and stakeholder judgement.
  • Experience in public sector, regulatory or enforcement environments (highly regarded).
  • Deep understanding of reputational risk, crisis management and media strategy.
  • Ability to lead, coach and build a resilient, high-performing team.
  • Strong digital communication capability across platforms - including social, web, video and emerging channels.
  • Comfortable managing complexity, ambiguity and political sensitivities.

Why join us?

This is a rare chance to make a measurable impact in a visible, strategic role. You'll have executive visibility, leadership responsibility, and the support to innovate and improve how we communicate with millions of Queenslanders.

You'll join a communications team that loves smart thinking and meaningful work — but we also know how to have fun, look out for each other, and in this role you'll directly contribute to building a team culture where everyone feels safe, supported and valued.
