  • Excellent project management and communication skills
  • You will use your project management skills to manage multiple projects from conception through to delivery and reporting, and have a solution-focused approach to challenges.
  • You will have confidence in both your written and spoken communication skills, and an ability to articulate purpose, engage with a variety of audiences and demonstrated attention to accuracy of information.
  • Ability to work as part of a diverse team, as well as work autonomously.
  • We are looking for someone who can work across teams and projects to identify research needs, develop relevant approaches, work co-operatively, communicate effectively and develop collaborations.
  • You will need to manage your priorities and your outputs, take responsibility for your work, meet deadlines and milestones, and inspire team members to deliver outcomes.
  • Contribution to workplace equity and diversity that enriches our culture of innovation, respect, and inclusion.
  • We are looking for someone who is a personal leader and who shows initiative, demonstrates accountability, actively contributes to the team, and shares ideas and feedback.
  • Respect, open communication, and a curiosity for learning are critical for this role, as we are passionate people undertaking important work, which at times can be fast paced, challenging and complex.
