- Plan, coordinate and deliver functional, integration and user acceptance testing for the accreditation system and associated interfaces.
- Lead the implementation of accreditation to visa processes, monitoring visa‑related queries, risks and issues and coordinating mitigation strategies with internal and external stakeholders.
- Develop reports and dashboards to provide timely, accurate accreditation data and insights to internal and external stakeholders, including leadership.
- Support compliance with privacy, security and information‑handling requirements, provide subject matter expertise on system readiness and risks, and assist the Senior Accreditation Manager and Client Manager with other activities as required.

- Demonstrated experience managing or supporting accreditation, identity, workforce or event management systems (experience with Wiz or similar platforms is highly desirable).
- Proven experience with system integrations, data flows and APIs across multiple platforms.
- Experience working with or alongside government agencies, particularly in areas such as visas, security screening, privacy or compliance (Australian Government experience preferred).
