About the Role

The Program Manager - Stakeholder Integration will be responsible for leading the planning and integration capability required to service Delivery Partners across a complex and expanding ecosystem. This role will ensure effective cross-functional and cross-organisational information exchange and feedback flows to achieve Games delivery.

This role will be the primary integration lead for priority government and non-government Delivery Partners – building trusted relationships, managing competing interests, and translating commitments and expectations into clear and agreed responsibility allocation and decision pathways with ownership of outcomes. Importantly, this role will own the build-out and evolution of highly productive working relationships with delivery partners – essentially nurturing and integrating key partners across the Games ecosystem to enable seamless Games-time operations and delivery of the target experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain trusted relationships with priority Delivery Partners across three levels of government and non-government entities
• Establish productive working norms and resolving conflict early through strong interpersonal judgement and diplomacy
• Lead integration management across partner scope boundaries by identifying, recording, monitoring and tracking partner interfaces and dependencies, ensuring accountability for information exchange and deliverables
• Design and run partner-facing working sessions (check-ins, integration workshops, issue resolution groups) that reduce ambiguity, clarify ownership, and accelerate time-to-decision
• Map partner delivery approaches and systems (methods, reporting fields and cadences, data structures) so Brisbane 2032 can integrate partner information consistently
• Link delivery partner information, insights, and reporting with Brisbane 2032 internal governance forums, reporting systems, and relevant Functional Areas (e.g., for service planning).
• Broker agreement and adoption of these common practices with partners, balancing standardisation with flexibility to suit different operating contexts
• Support partner uptake of common practices by developing practical playbooks and guidance (templates, exemplars, checklists) that make collaboration easy and value-adding

Skills and Experience

• Complex ecosystem stakeholder engagement: demonstrated success influencing outcomes across multi-entity stakeholder environments (e.g., government, commercial partners, regulated ecosystems) where priorities conflict and expectations must be actively managed
• Interface / integration management: proven ability to manage scope boundaries, dependencies, and information exchange between multiple parties in a structured, fair, and disciplined way
• Program management and planning capability: strong ability to translate strategic direction into integrated plans, maintain a living roadmap, and coordinate outcomes through clear rhythms and feedback loops
• Governance literacy: ability to work effectively with forum ToRs, decision rights, escalation pathways, and pack preparation so issues are resolved at the right level, at the right time
• Systems and methods pragmatism: ability to design and balance a spectrum of delivery approaches and practices suitable for multi-partner integration
