Working in a small and agile team, you will play an active role across the full project lifecycle — from stakeholder engagement and needs analysis through to project coordination and implementation.

Your responsibilities span 4 areas:

• Contribute to the design and delivery of engagement sessions, workshops and consultations to gather insights, validate needs and build shared ownership across the high-performance sport ecosystem, facilitating sessions where appropriate.
• Prepare reports, presentations, briefing papers and qualitative and quantitative analyses to support planning, decision-making and stakeholder communications.

Research and Needs Analysis

• Conduct research, environmental scans and needs analyses to inform capability development initiatives, organisation development interventions and project planning.

• Provide staffing and administrative support to Chief HPSI, including organising project meetings and working groups, managing logistics and administration for workshops and engagement sessions, and maintaining project documentation and records.
• Develop, communicate and track the organisation's strategic priorities — coordinate the annual planning cycle, facilitate strategy reviews and ensure key initiatives remain on track.
