• Strong executive support experience and sound judgement
• Excellent communication and stakeholder skills
• The ability to anticipate needs and solve problems quickly
• A collaborative, can-do approach
• A genuine interest in the arts or creative industries

Why this role?

You’ll join the Cultural Facilities Corporation at a pivotal moment, contributing to a growing cultural precinct and a bold future for the Canberra Theatre Centre.

It’s a chance to combine high-level executive support with meaningful work in a creative, high-energy environment.
