Background

Indonesia’s Vision 2045 sets the goal for Indonesia to transition from a resource-based economy towards an advanced service, technology, and knowledge-based economy by the centenary of its independence (2045). The 2025-2045 National Long Term Development Plan emphasises the urgency of Indonesia’s human resource development to fully realise 2045 goals.

Faced however with persistent low student performance that is emblematic of a learning crisis, significant improvement in student learning will be required to reach Indonesia’s 2045 goals. Government of Indonesia (GoI) has started an ambitious program of education reforms. Successive education ministers have set out to modernise the education system through reforming the national curriculum and teaching and assessment approaches, to produce citizens with strong foundational skills, open minds, and inclusive values. 

Australia is a long-term supporter of the Indonesian basic education sector, with continuous investments supporting education quality improvements for the past two decades, including through the INOVASI program (Phase 1 2016-2020; Phase 2 2020-2023) that focused on supporting acquisition of literacy and numeracy foundational skills in early grades classrooms; exploring local problems and solutions; and generating evidence to inform government policy development and practices.

This third phase of INOVASI (2024-2027) builds upon the existing program’s approach and lessons learned and takes the focus on the development of foundational skills through to the end of the primary grades. Phase 3 will engage with priority issues of Australia’s development policy: gender equality, effective inclusion of children with a disability, responses to the climate change challenge in education. It will focus on the challenge of policy implementation and the gaps that exist between national policies and practices at district and school levels, and use the well attested-success of INOVASI’s local problem-based approach to continuously support policy development for effective fit between policy and implementation context.

INOVASI Phase 3 is implemented in 25 districts and cities across Indonesia, in the provinces of West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, North Kalimantan, East Java, West Java, and Maluku. The program also works in Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN).

The Program is implemented by Palladium on behalf of DFAT.

Purpose of the Position

The Operations Manager will be responsible for providing operational leadership and management of the national and provincial Operations teams to ensure that project implementation is flexible in responding to changing program requirements and is aligned with Palladium, DFAT, and GOI regulations.

The Operations Manager is also responsible for overseeing the INOVASI Procurement and Grants Coordinator, Activity Coordinator, Administration and Office Coordinator, and IT Specialist for performance management purposes.

Program Background

The first phase of the Australia-Indonesia Partnership for Health Transformation (KITA SEHAT) is a four-year, approximately A$50 million investment by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to work in partnership with the Government of Indonesia (GoI) to advance Indonesia’s human and animal health agendas in identified areas of high priority. Building on elements from the previous phases of Australia’s assistance in the health sector, including the Australia Indonesia Health Security Partnership (AIHSP), KITA SEHAT will continue to support health security and related systems strengthening in the human health and animal health sectors, while renewing Australia's support for primary health care in line with Indonesia's health transformation agenda.

Operating at national and selected subnational levels, the program will provide strategic advice on policy, governance, and service delivery approaches, with a strong alignment in areas where Australia can make distinctive contributions. KITA SEHAT will work through a range of mechanisms including technical assistance, public sector partnerships, research and CSO/NGO grants, and will coordinate with UN agencies and other development partners to ensure complementarity and avoid duplication. Gender equality, disability equity and social inclusion (GEDSI) and climate resilience will be a strong focus of the program and will be integral to achieving national health goals.

The program’s long-term goal will be guided by four end of program outcomes (EOPOs):

·       Primary health care policy and governance – national and selected subnational authorities have adopted improved primary health policies, service delivery approaches and governance arrangements.

·       Primary health services – selected subnational authorities have improved the quality of and access to primary health services with a focus on stunting prevention and the inclusion of women, people with disability and other disadvantaged groups.

·       Health system enablers – national and selected subnational authorities have enhanced core workforce capabilities in critical human and animal health system enabling functions.

·       Health security – national and selected subnational authorities have increased capacity for health security and animal health policy development, strategic planning and the assessment, mitigation and management of acute and emerging health threats.

About the Pacific Labour Mobility Support Program

The Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme is a signature initiative of the Australian Government that enables workers from nine Pacific Island Countries (PICs) and Timor‑Leste to work in priority sectors across Australia.

The Pacific Labour Mobility Support Program (PLMSP) supports the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and partner governments to ensure labour mobility delivers inclusive, sustainable benefits for workers, employers and national economies, while minimising risks associated with labour mobility participation. Palladium is contracted to deliver PLMSP on behalf of DFAT.

This Opportunity

The Talent and Organisational Development Manager plays a critical leadership role in shaping and delivering PLMSP’s end‑to‑end talent management approach. Reporting to the Project Human Resources Senior Manager, the role ensures the program has the right capability, leadership depth and workforce mix to meet both current delivery needs and future program demands.

The role has primary accountability for talent acquisition, workforce planning, leadership development and succession planning, underpinned by a strong organisational development (OD) lens that supports people leaders, particularly first‑time managers, and drives the evolution of PLMSP’s leadership capability, organisational design and people systems as the program matures, scales and adapts to changing delivery requirements.

Success in this role requires a genuine interest in international development and a strong desire to deeply understand PLMSP’s purpose, operating context and partnerships across the Pacific and Timor‑Leste, so that talent and organisational development strategies are meaningfully aligned to the program’s unique objectives and delivery environment.

This is a fixed term opportunity till September 2026.
