- enabling active, real-time assessments on the effectiveness of agencies in delivering their core services and Government priorities, and advising Ministers on interventions to accelerate delivery
- supporting the delivery of Performance Improvement Reviews to inform the strategic direction and capability needed in Public Service agencies to ensure they can deliver on current and future priorities
- working with Central Agencies to provide Ministers with advice on the delivery and performance of Public Service agencies, including supporting the delivery of the Government's targets and implementation of Performance Plans
- engaging with Crown entity boards, chairs and monitoring agencies on good practice governance, performance and monitoring

To be successful in this role, you will need to be confident working at senior levels and providing high quality analysis and advice. Experience in building high quality relationships is critical. You will need the ability to work at a range of levels to drive delivery and get things done. This role provides critical leadership within the Commission, and across the Public Service, so a strong track record in leading and driving delivery is critical.
You may bring skills and experience in policy development, performance management, and/or working with Ministers and senior decision makers to drive delivery and performance. Experience working in or with Central Agencies would of benefit.
This position usually pays between $130,171 to $159,588 depending on skills and experience.
