We're the powerhouse behind WA's international presence — delivering strategic policy advice, managing high-impact projects, and cultivating global partnerships that fuel investment, trade, and development. From steering complex initiatives to guiding government approvals, we're the engine room of progress.

As a

Your insights will help shape reports tracking progress against key government priorities, while your communication skills will be essential in drafting briefings, and correspondence.

Success in this role will also require strong analytical capabilities and a deep understanding of how data drives decision-making. You'll collaborate across government and industry, build productive relationships, and guide policy implementation and evaluation. Working closely with colleagues to achieve branch outcomes, you'll uphold departmental integrity and contribute to a culture of excellence. If you're ready to make a meaningful impact through data-driven strategy, we encourage you to apply.

You'll be part of a dynamic team, collaborate with passionate professionals, engage with global stakeholders, and help shape policies that matter. You will step into a role where strategy meets impact—where you'll help facilitate transformative projects that ignite industry growth across WA.
