As Program Assistant, you will support the delivery of RMIT’s urban sustainability programs. Key responsibilities include supporting project planning, implementation, stakeholder coordination, and reporting.

You will actively support the facilitation of educational programs by liaising with learners from the public, private and academic sector, engaging with partners, and assisting in the development, execution, and monitoring of programs. You will also be involved in analysing program data, preparing presentations and reports, and contributing to overall program delivery.

Some other duties may include coordinating with other teams, such as the Engagement team, to support communications and event coordination.

This role offers the opportunity to be mentored in project management, stakeholder engagement, and sustainability research within a dynamic, international environment.
