Role overview

We are building an ongoing pool of contract senior producers to lead delivery across a portfolio of digital products, large-scale website design and development, service design, and applied AI work. Engagements primarily serve government agencies, nonprofit organisations, and socially minded businesses, and range from short bursts of cover support to multi-month placements depending on what the delivery teams need at the time.

Responsibilities

Lead end-to-end delivery on one or more projects, keeping scope, budget, and timelines on track
Step into existing teams mid-engagement and ramp up quickly on context, stakeholders, and tooling
Draft or refine statements of work, including assumptions, risks, and dependencies
Run stand-ups, workshops, and client check-ins, and coordinate research, design, and development inputs
Provide additional delivery leadership during busy periods or staffing gaps
Support identification, scoping, and bidding for new opportunities

Requirements

Typically 8 or more years delivering digital research, design, or technology projects, ideally with budgets of around $500,000 or more
Track record delivering work for government and/or not-for-profit organisations
Confidence working across both agile and waterfall methodologies, with judgement about when each fits
Proficiency with common delivery tools such as Jira or Asana, plus flexibility to adopt whatever a new team already uses
Comfort managing scope, budget, and timelines under live pressure, with sound judgement on when to elevate
Strong stakeholder communication and the ability to onboard into new teams, clients, and projects quickly

Nice to have

Ability to start at short notice or relatively soon
Willingness to be considered for ongoing pool opportunities, not only the immediate gap

Benefits and work setup

Engagement length, hours, and day rate vary depending on the assignment
Hybrid work from Melbourne or Adelaide preferred, though other remote options within Australia are open
Strong encouragement for applicants from underrepresented groups to apply
