Details: The Executive Support Officer (ESO) will provide high level administrative support in the Deputy Director-General’s Office. The ESO will provide timely, accurate, and effective, senior executive support directly to the Deputy Director-General and will work with the Executive Officer and Program Manager to deliver on the priorities of the Deputy Director-General’s portfolio. Engagement with senior executive offices across ACT Government, and with other key stakeholder groups, is a key function of the role.

Outstanding stakeholder engagement skills are essential, as well as tact, and the ability to demonstrate a high level of personal integrity.
