Job Description

Some people see a spreadsheet. You see the story behind it.

\n

Some people see a strategic plan. You see what needs to happen next.

\n

And when a project starts to drift, you're the person who notices, asks the right questions and helps get things moving again.

\n

We're looking for aProject Analyst – Strategic Projectswho can bring together commercial thinking, data, project discipline and a great deal of personality to help turn our strategic priorities into meaningful outcomes for society's most vulnerable.

\n

Working closely with our Executive team and senior leaders, you'll have visibility across some of our organisation's most important initiatives. You'll help keep projects moving, make sense of the data, connect the dots between initiatives and provide the insight and structure our leaders need to deliver.

\n

A day on the job includes:

\n

\n
• Keeping our strategic initiativesvisible, moving and on track— monitoring milestones, actions, risks and outcomes.
\n
• Turning qualitative project outcomes intodataand insights that help Executives make better decisions.
\n
• Creating sharp, meaningful reports and dashboards that tell the story of what's happening — not just what the numbers say.
\n
• Bringing structure and momentum to projects, particularly when priorities are competing or the path forward isn't always clear.
\n
• Helping prepare and coordinate strategy workshops and project update meetings — making sure the actions that come out of them don't disappear.

About you

\n

\n
• You might be an accountant, finance professional, commercial analyst, business partner, business analyst or project analyst. Your background matters less to us than how you think and how you work with people.

\n
• You're naturally curious, organised and good at bringing clarity to complexity. You enjoy people, build relationships easily and can hold your own with senior Executives, explaining complex information in a way that makes sense.
\n
• You're confident enough to speak up, challenge thinking and put forward a great idea — but humble enough to listen, take direction and change course when needed. You know when to focus on the big picture and when the detail matters.
\n
• You've had previous exposure to projects, whether it's ICT, construction, mining, property, maintenance, acquisitions, mergers, or any other complex activity with clear milestones and deliverables.
\n
• You'll bring experience working with strategic initiatives, transformation or business improvement, and you're an Excel guru. Power BI experience is a bonus.
