You’ll have the chance to apply your expertise in an engaging, fast-paced environment while continuing to learn and develop professionally.

This opportunity offers:

• A chance to develop skills across financial systems analysis, systems support, project work and customer service
• Collaboration with a variety of internal stakeholders
• A 12-month non-ongoing contract with a likelihood of extension or permanency
• Hybrid working arrangements, with up to two days WFH per week following the initial onboarding and training period

The Role

Your key responsibilities include:

• Assisting with testing of changes and upgrades to financial systems (SAP and TM1)

The Ideal Person

You are a self-starter with strong attention to detail and effective communication skills.

You may be an experienced systems accountant or financial administrator or test analyst, or you may come from an accounting or finance background with an interest in financial systems, or experience as a test analyst.

Most importantly, you have a desire to build a long-term APS career.

Your ability to collaborate with internal teams and external stakeholders, solve problems and manage competing priorities will be key to your success in this role.

Australian citizenship and a current NV1 or higher security clearance are required.
