About the organisation
With a generous endowment from the NSW Government and matched funding from a group of NSW universities, the Institute was incorporated as an independent organisation in early 2021. Our founders have set up an independent, enduring institute that will transform how governments and universities harness world-leading research capability through collaborative projects to address key public policy challenges.
The purpose of the Institute is to support governments to deliver pragmatic and smart policy solutions, informed by leading academic research, that will have far reaching benefits for the people of NSW and beyond. Through our partnership model, we bring government, universities, industry and communities together to deliver practical and relevant public policy outcomes through a process of codesign, codelivery and collaboration that will harness leading academic research capability.
About the role
We are looking someone who will work closely alongside the Director of Research and Policy to build firm foundations through developing, delivering and managing an ongoing program of collaborative research, policy engagement and joint projects with government, academics and wider stakeholders.
The Institute is looking for a smart, analytical thinker with excellent project management and report writing experience. The ideal candidate will have experience in structured thinking and problem-solving, complex stakeholder management and collaborative working / co-design. They will have strong academic credentials with some experience of working with government, university or policy context.
In a small, start-up organisation, this person will be highly adaptable, motivated and systematic in their approach – helping to build smart methods, approaches and processes that will establish firm foundations for the Institute.
If you share our passion to bridge the gap between government and universities and are keen to help build something from the ground up, we would love to hear from you. Sydney CBD office, flexible terms and conditions available and a competitive salary depending on experience.
