• Prepare project reporting, progress updates, executive briefs and governance papers
• Coordinate workshops, governance forums and project meetings

• You're proactive, organised and able to work independently in a distributed team
• You're an Australian citizen
• You must hold a current Baseline clearance or above

Nice to Have (Desirable Criteria)
