Details: Are you a strategic thinker who thrives on using people skills to influence and turn priorities into action? Do you enjoy working at the centre of decision-making, connecting people, information and processes to achieve meaningful outcomes?

The Manager, Group Strategy, Coordination and Performance is a unique opportunity to work directly with senior executives in the Planning, Design and Digital (PDD) Group, helping shape and deliver the strategic priorities that support the ACT's future growth, infrastructure, planning and digital transformation.

Based in the Office of the Executive General Manager (EGM) PDD, and reporting to the Executive Officer, you will work closely with the Executive Assistant to support the EGM and broader Group. You will play a central role in coordinating strategy, performance, government business and executive priorities across a diverse and high-profile portfolio. You will provide trusted advice, identify emerging risks and opportunities, and ensure leaders have the information they need to make informed decisions.

This is more than a coordination role. It is an opportunity to work at the heart of a dynamic Group, using referent power to influence or negotiate desired outcomes and support how strategy is developed, decisions are made and outcomes are delivered. You will gain exposure to complex and high-profile issues, work closely with senior leaders and contribute to initiatives that have a direct impact on government performance and community outcomes

We are seeking a highly organised, resilient and adaptable professional who can build strong relationships, navigate complexity and exercise sound judgement in a fast-paced environment. You will bring strong team-player, analytical, communication and coordination skills, with the confidence and respectful approach to engage with senior stakeholders on matters of priority and translate complex information into clear, practical advice.

If you enjoy working across diverse priorities, driving continuous improvement and helping leaders succeed, we'd love to hear from you.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people with diverse thoughts, lived experience, and perspectives can thrive and contribute their unique talents to the ACTPS and ACT community. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, veterans, younger and older workers, and people with diverse genders, sexes and sexualities to apply.

Eligibility/Other requirements:

• Demonstrated minimum three years of experience providing strategic advice, or business management support at senior executive level, including experience with forming trusted and respectful professional working relationships with Directors, Executives, Directors-General, Chief Executives, Ministers or equivalent.
• The successful applicant must be an Australian citizen and possess or acquire and maintain an Australian Government Security Vetting Agency (AGSVA) security clearance at the Baseline level as an eligibility qualification. If AGSVA screening is not successful, your employment will not commence or, if already commenced, your employment will be reassessed.
• The successful applicant must have the ability to attend 220 London Circuit Canberra City and Winyu House Gunghalin to conduct their role.
