Program Coordinator

Full time, permanent position based out of our Brisbane office with preferred 3 days in the office per week (2 days WFH)

Hello. We’re Virgin Australia. We’re the airline that’s always done things a little different. Our way. The Virgin way. We’re on a mission to make flying better than ‘nice’. And to do that, it takes a team of talented people who are passionate about customer experience, doing the right thing always, with a focus on safety – in the air, on the ground and in our workplaces. A team who values real diversity and inclusion, in a big brand with big ambitions.

What you’ll be doing

The objective of the Program Coordinator role is to support the Program Director, focusing on tasks and tactical activities to ensure the Programs remain on schedule, stay within budget and achieves their goals. This is an exciting role within a large team and network of stakeholders across the Virgin Australia business.

The Program Coordinator will assist with Program planning, tracking, documentation and administration, and execute tasks for various Programs. From supporting the  Manager with coordination duties to assisting Programs across the portfolio, , this is not a data entry role, but a coordinator role in the truest sense.

We are looking for a team player, someone who can build strong relationships with the whole team, while following up on task completion and deliverables and raising any risks with the  Manager accordingly.

The successful candidate will be someone who can work autonomously and take ownership of tasks, but we will also guarantee a strong management team who will provide guidance when required.

This is an opportunity to be the heart of a largescale  of work, working alongside a fantastic team, delivering a significant business change.

You’ll be great in this role if you have…

  • Minimum 3 years’ experience in Administration/Program Co-ordination roles
  • Great eye for detail to assist in ensuring each Program meets each of the Program's quality standards
  • Able to engage with internal and external stakeholders, including excellent interpersonal skills and willingness to help the team where required
  • Strong problem solving, prioritisation and analytical skills
  • Experience developing and analysing Program reporting(e.g. schedules, risks and issues, resourcing, financial management, progress and blockers)
  • Demonstrated understanding of Program management concepts
  • Experience creating quality presentations using MS PowerPoint for a Leadership audience (you have intermediate - advanced skills in MS Office)
  • Bachelor's degree in relevant field or certificate in Program Management is desirable, but not essential

We’re committed to looking after you, with some of the best benefits and conditions in the industry – including (but not limited to):

  • Discounted flights for you and your loved ones (including $1000 worth of travel credits per year)
  • A flexible, hybrid work style. Work from home or the office, adapt your location to suit your style and needs
  • One of Brisbane’s most admired head office locations, with South Bank train station, a supermarket, pharmacy, and lunch options downstairs plus a 5-minute walk to the Busway, a rooftop restaurant and onsite gym (with a low membership fee) and South Bank Parklands just across the road
  • Discounts on travel insurance, lounge membership, car hire, accommodation, and experiences worldwide
  • Cheaper hospitality, retail, technology, beauty and wellness services
  • Free counselling and access to a wellbeing app to support your physical, mental, social and financial health
  • ‘Dress for Your Day’ – enjoy the freedom to wear whatever makes you feel great for the type of work you do and the day you have ahead of you.
