* Supporting formal engagement channels with state, territory, and Commonwealth officials
* Assisting in other key functions across the Section to support operational and strategic priorities
* Upholding public service values, including integrity, transparency and impartiality in all aspects of your work
Azooa is after someone who not only meets the technical criteria but also thrives in purpose-driven, fast-moving teams that are focused on delivering real results for the community.
Essential Skills and Qualities:
* Strong experience in ICT project delivery and public sector environments
* A professional and detail-oriented approach to policy and stakeholder engagement
* Proven ability to research and analyse complex project-related matters

* Adaptability to shifting priorities in a high-stakes environment
* You're solutions-focused and apply judgment to deliver measurable outcomes
* A critical thinker with persuasive communication skills
* A great listener who values collaboration and constructive feedback
* A self-starter who doesn't wait to be told what to do — you make things happen
* Demonstrated integrity and accountability in delivering high-quality outputs under deadline
At Azooa, we're not your average consultancy. We've carved out a reputation for exceptional delivery, top-tier talent, and innovative thinking — all while staying 100% Australian owned and operated.
No offshore staff. No compromises. Just local excellence.
Our team is composed of skilled professionals committed to supporting the digital capability uplift of the Australian Public Service, with a strong emphasis on ACT-based collaboration and delivery.
What We Offer:
