  • Actively foster constructive relationships within the division, within the transport portfolio and other government departments and with key external stakeholders and establish ongoing initiatives to enhance these relationships. 
  • Manage a small team to ensure that resources are allocated in a way which reflects government and departmental priorities, and that facilitates the delivery of key deliverables to a high quality and on time. 
  • Actively facilitate and support the development of relevant professional skills for staff, including ensuring adequate and effective performance management processes are in place for all individuals and identifying opportunities to build branch capacity.
  • In line with Section 31A of the Public Administration Act 2004 (Vic) other duties may be assigned consistent with employment classification, skills, and capabilities.

To be successful in this role, you will effectively manage and motivate a small team, ensuring alignment with organisational strategy. You will develop team capabilities through clear expectations and constructive feedback. Your expertise in policy design and development, coupled with strong influencing and persuasive skills, will be crucial. You will adeptly solve complex problems within the business context, ensuring solutions adhere to organisational values and legal frameworks. Additionally, you will communicate effectively, preparing concise briefs and building strong stakeholder relationships.

On a personal level, you will be driven by outcomes thinking, finding innovative ways to create public value and measure the impact of government activities. You will instil a sense of purpose within your team, aligning their work with the organisation's strategic direction and community impact. You will excel at working collaboratively, building trust and rapport, setting common goals with empathy, and sharing control and responsibility.
