• Oversee superannuation support activities, including the Departing Australian Superannuation Payment (DASP) advisory service and related onshore and offshore components.
• Work with the Reintegration team and PLMSP streams to document evidence and learnings, ensuring reintegration activities consider both social and economic impacts and mitigate risks to workers, families and communities.

• Experience working in the Pacific and/or Timor‑Leste, or similar complex and fast‑paced contexts.
• Strong understanding of labour mobility and reintegration issues, including social and psychosocial challenges faced by workers and families.
• Demonstrated project management capability, including establishing new initiatives, coordinating competing priorities, and delivering high‑quality outputs with strong communication skills.
• Proven leadership and team management experience, with the ability to motivate and support teams working remotely and across varied environments.
