The Opportunity.

You’ll work closely with DFAT, technical experts, and local partners to embed inclusive practices, strengthen community engagement, and promote continuous improvement in GEDSI outcomes. This is a unique opportunity to shape how Australia’s humanitarian response is delivered — ensuring it is inclusive, responsive, and transformative.

About the Program: Humanitarian Logistics Capability (HLC)

The HLC, managed by DFAT and implemented by Tetra Tech, facilitates the timely, effective, and flexible delivery of Australia’s humanitarian assistance across the Indo-Pacific. With the largest stockpile of prepositioned humanitarian supplies in the Southern Hemisphere, HLC can respond to three simultaneous crises and support over 55,000 people.

HLC integrates cross-cutting priorities — including GEDSI, localisation, greening, innovation, and Indigenous engagement — into all operations and activities.

Your Role

• Lead the development and implementation of the HLC GEDSI Strategy and annual GEDSI Plan
• Conduct GEDSI analysis of supply chains and country contexts to inform inclusive programming
• Train staff in GEDSI principles and practices
• Review and improve the appropriateness of pre-positioned supplies
• Provide GEDSI advice during preparedness and response operations
• Collaborate with DFAT, humanitarian partners, and rights-holder organisations
• Support MERL initiatives to strengthen GEDSI outcomes and last-mile visibility
• Manage GEDSI components of service orders and logistics operations
• Engage external GEDSI specialists and lead cross-functional teams
• Establish partnerships with Women’s Rights Groups and Organisations of People with Disabilities.

About You

You are an experienced GEDSI practitioner with a strong understanding of humanitarian logistics and inclusive development, with the prior experience to match. You thrive in complex environments and bring a collaborative, culturally competent, and solutions-focused approach.

You will possess:

• Mid-senior experience in inclusive and GEDSI-transformative programming
• Experience in humanitarian or development programs in the Indo-Pacific
• Proven ability to lead teams and manage external consultants
• Strong knowledge of GEDSI principles, policy, and participatory approaches
• Understanding of Australia’s International Gender Equality and Disability Strategies
• Excellent project management, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills
• High levels of initiative, resilience, and cultural competence
• Relevant lived experience will be highly regarded.
