• Develop and maintain strong and effective relationships and communication with the Minister’s Office, departmental senior executives of the portfolio agencies and key stakeholders to ensure requests are met, and service delivery is efficient and appropriate.
• Ensure the timely preparation of documents by following up overdue advice and identifying when additional advice or input is required.
• Support the Manager by assisting with leadership of a team of Project Officers and may assume ad hoc supervision of other team members.
