Program Coordinator
We’re seeking a highly organised Program Coordinator for a 12-month fixed-term contract to support one of News Corp Australia’s major transformational programs that will revolutionise how we create content across our newsrooms.
Acting as a central coordinator partially within the new PMO/VMO, this role functions similarly to an "EA for the program" by driving governance, managing project documentation, and facilitating communication between technical and editorial workstreams. This is a highly collaborative position where you will work closely with Project Sponsors, Project Managers, executives, and the editorial team to ensure alignment and successful delivery across business and technology-facing teams.
Responsibilities
- Manage alignment between various technical and editorial workstreams.
- Coordinate steering committees with executives and assist in developing professional presentations and corporate reporting dashboards.
- Assist the editorial team in working effectively with the wider business and key stakeholders.
- Maintain the central project repository and governance documentation, ensuring tools like Google Drive and Confluence are kept up to date.
- Serve as a central point of contact for project inquiries and help onboard new team members into the program.
- Monitor activities across different project streams to manage dependencies and maintain alignment to the overall schedule.
Who are you?
- You're a meticulous "people person" with an enthusiastic, collaborative personality who excels at cross-departmental coordination.
- You're an excellent communicator with strong written and verbal skills, comfortable asking questions and following up with stakeholders at all levels.
- You're professional with strong project governance abilities and exceptional time management skills to balance multiple tasks without letting details slip.
- You're highly capable of creating and developing professional presentations, with proficiency in basic word processing and slide tools.
- You're an adaptable collaborator who presents well and is driven by organisation and coordination, rather than a senior technical or data analyst background.
- You're a naturally curious problem-solver who is comfortable tracking project health metrics, navigating project data, and liaising across business units.
