About the team

The Anti-Dumping Commission

We are Australia’s trade remedies authority, the Anti-Dumping Commission (the Commission). We support the Australian economy by securing a level playing field for local industry by:

• undertaking investigations into allegations of unfair international trade practices involving goods entering Australia
• administering Australia’s anti-dumping legislation.
• Professionalism, excellence and independence underpin the Commission’s world-class reputation.

The Commission is a connected team of professionals with skills and experience in international trade, the law, economics, accounting, auditing, investigations, business, and learning and development. We are committed to a positive workplace culture and we support flexible working arrangements.

The Strategy and Operations Branch

The Strategy & Operations Branch plays a critical role in supporting the Commission’s core activity of undertaking trade remedies investigations. The Branch leads the Commission’s efforts to realise our Strategic Plan, ensuring we respond swiftly to developments while upholding Australia’s trade remedies system with the highest integrity.

We cultivate a forward-thinking culture where innovation is encouraged, and integrity underpins every decision we make. Through strategic planning, capability development, data-driven insights, policy advice, and stakeholder engagement across government, industry and the community, our four sections, Culture and Capability; Strategy, Policy and Performance; Governance and Performance Analytics; and Engagement and Market Intelligence, work in concert to deliver the Commission’s strategy and foster a cohesive and inclusive organisation.

Our commitment to innovation, integrity and a thriving organisational culture ensures we can adapt and excel in a dynamic landscape.

The Culture and Capability Team

The role of the Culture & Capability (C&C) team is to ensure the Commission staff have the necessary technical and other skills to enable the Commission to deliver on its core activities effectively. The team is dedicated to cultivating a high-performing workforce guided by integrity and innovation.

We provide expert services that:

• Develop and build organisational capability: Deliver comprehensive training programs, both online and in-person, that build technical expertise, leadership acumen, and professional development.
• Champion culture and values: Advance the Commission’s culture strategy and plan by embedding our core values and promoting a workplace of accountability and integrity.
• Elevate recruitment and retention: Design forward-thinking talent strategies to attract, develop, and retain a diverse range of skilled professionals.
• Enhance communication and connectivity: Coordinate all-Commission events, ongoing communications, and training initiatives–including managing our SharePoint InfoHub and connectivity series–to keep staff informed, engaged, and connected.
• Leverage shared resources: Work seamlessly with DISR to optimise shared functions and resources, ensuring effective and efficient outcomes.
• Strengthen inclusion and collaboration: Put diversity and inclusion at the heart of our operations, ensuring a welcoming environment where all perspectives are valued and collaboration across teams inspires fresh ideas.

Through targeted recruitment, robust training programs, inclusive culture initiatives, and a centralised information hub, C&C acts as the steward of a cohesive, innovative and values-driven workplace. Our proactive approach ensures every team member has the tools, support and opportunities to excel, take part in continuous learning, and feel empowered to contribute fully to the Commission’s mission.

The opportunity

We are seeking a high-performing, strategic and values-based leader who brings energy, integrity and a collaborative mindset to coordinate and drive delivery of culture, capability and workforce initiatives across the Commission.

The role provides a coherent, portfolio-level delivery approach across connected initiatives, including planning, sequencing, governance and reporting, and the active management of risks, issues and dependencies, in a dynamic environment.

Working closely with the Culture and Capability team including the Director, (EL2), the Learning and Capability Assistant Director (EL1), and business stakeholders more broadly, the role enables coordinated execution of initiatives aligned to the Commission’s 2025-28 Strategic Plan, particularly those that lift technical capability, embed values and strengthen a connected culture.

This includes designing and coordinating the most effective delivery pathway for a diverse portfolio of strategic workforce and capability initiatives, including the capability framework, induction and onboarding uplift, structured learning programs, workforce and skills planning, and knowledge management improvements. Success depends on balancing competing priorities, identifying risks, dependencies and resource constraints, and sequencing work to maximise outcomes and sustainable delivery. Success relies on bringing people together, supporting initiative leads, fostering collaboration across teams, and creating shared ownership and accountability for results.

Operating with a high-degree of autonomy, you will exercise sound judgement and provide strategic delivery advice that influences outcomes across business areas. You will be adaptable, pragmatic and outcomes focused, modelling professionalism and high integrity, and communicating in a way that reflects the Commission’s values.
