If you’re looking to make a difference in your own backyard, this career is for you.

 

This is your opportunity to broaden your experience and perspectives, step out of the confines of a standard project role and expand your scope to work with an interconnected ecosystem of industry professionals.

In this role, you'll:

Play a key role in providing program and project management support across a diverse portfolio of grants, partnerships and activation initiatives. Working with grant management platforms such as SmartyGrants, you'll help coordinate the end-to-end administration of grant programs, support governance, reporting and stakeholder engagement activities, and contribute to the delivery of events and initiatives that shape communities across NSW. You'll also work closely with a wide range of external stakeholders, building strong relationships and ensuring effective engagement throughout the life of each program, while supporting the administration of a portfolio of concurrent projects and funding recipients.

You can manage competing priorities across a portfolio of projects and stakeholders, while maintaining attention to detail, preparing clear and concise communications, and delivering quality outcomes.
