In my current role as Aviation Program Manager, I provide leadership and direction on activities for the delivery and contract administration stages of the Attracting Aviation Investment Fund program for approved aviation projects which may include complex and varied policy, legal, commercial and project delivery matters. With a forward-thinking approach, I oversee processes for the development, implementation, governance and evaluation of funding programs and initiatives, to support new and renewed investment, and lift industry capability in the tourism industry, ensuring integrated whole-of-department and government priorities are met. I also conduct checks and reviews to ensure documentation and market facing processes developed for and during procurement and administration phases are fit-for-purpose, commercially and legally robust, and endorsed in line with relevant government approvals. I define and manage projects in all aspects including cost, risk, scope, schedule, reporting, benefits and contract management functions for projects. I oversee various project management priorities and implement strategies to achieve project and program milestones on time and to budget through effective coordination of project work streams and resource planning. Additionally, I collaborate with other agencies and supporting work packages to deliver the project including seeking their input and guidance on technical and delivery aspects of the project.

In this previous role, I provided case management of applicants under the Attracting Tourism Fund. Enthusiastically, I received and addressed enquiries from potential applicants in the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Brisbane City Council Regions. Moreover, I conducted research and prepared working group and assessment panel briefing notes, related to grant applications. I gathered information and carried out reviews and provided comments on financial information including cash flow reports and forecasts provided by proponents. Paying keen attention to details, I monitored milestone reporting for successful applicants. I drafted and delivered speech notes, parliamentary briefs and other briefs as required for the Minister, Director-General or Deputy Director-General.

Furthermore, I provided oversight on the processes involved in the delivery of Games time logistics for OCG staff including rostering and transport.

For the Executive Services Management role, I undertook research and studies to keep updated with current knowledge of portfolio issues, priorities and policies. Using highly developed analytical skills, I conducted high level research, analysis and used information in the provision of advice and support to the Deputy Director-General and Senior Leadership Team on a wide range of strategic, current, emerging and confidential issues related to the Commonwealth Games policies and programs. I then drafted and submitted complex reports, submissions, briefing notes, agreements and memoranda of understanding on a range of issues. Moreover, I performed quality checks on all complex reports, submissions, briefing notes, presentations, speeches, publications approval/endorsement by the Deputy Director-General to ensure excellence at all times. Proactively, I identified requirements and assisted the management of the Commonwealth Games Coordination Commission in reviewing processes for Government delivery partners. I managed and monitored significant projects and policy initiatives that impact across multiple teams within the Office of the Commonwealth Games and other stakeholders, and report on their progress and outcomes.
