This is a dynamic role with a variety of responsibilities and relationships that will draw on the full breadth of your professional toolkit.

You'll be proactive and confident in suggesting new ways of doing things or putting better processes in place. You will have a well-attuned risk radar, excellent relationship management skills, and be comfortable navigating complex, multi-faceted interactions with stakeholders with nuance, tact, and cultural awareness. A natural organiser, you'll have great time management skills and be able to multi-task and prioritise work efficiently and effectively. You'll approach your work with confidence and resilience, and your sound judgement and decision-making skills will mean you'll know when to take ownership or escalate matters on behalf of the GM. As an active team player, you'll have a natural rapport with others and quickly build meaningful and trusted relationships. The salary range for this role is $70,051 - $85,617.
