## Job description

## About Portable

We are Australia’s leading innovation partners for public good – developing technology and design solutions that power the public and the people who serve it. We seek out areas of acute social need and work with government agencies, nonprofit organisations, and socially-minded businesses to make transformational change.

There are currently 65+ of us – researchers, strategists, designers, technologists, and producers – working from our head office in Collingwood and remotely from co-working spaces and homes across Australia.

This role sits within one of our Digital Product teams – cross-discipline delivery teams that operate as their own business units, each led by a Business Director.

Then there’s you!

You’re an experienced digital producer who thrives on the detail of delivery. You know how to keep a project or partnership on track – managing scope, risk, and communication so your team, and your partners, always know where things stand.

You’ve built genuine craft in production: you can run a workshop, write a statement of work, manage a budget, and hold a calm line when priorities shift. You’re not chasing a leadership title just yet – you’re focused on sharpening your delivery skills, building your commercial instincts, and taking on more as you’re ready for it.

You’ll work as part of a multidisciplinary delivery team, help deliver great outcomes for our partners, and play a growing role in how we win and shape new work.

## What you’ll do

On a normal week, you might:

- Lead delivery on one or more projects end to end, keeping scope, budget, and timelines on track.
- Write and refine statements of work, tracking assumptions, risks, and dependencies as the work evolves.
- Run stand-ups, workshops, and partner check-ins, keeping your team and clients aligned on progress.
- Contribute to scoping and estimating for proposals, bringing a delivery lens to new business.
- Track budgets and forecasts, raising risks early and keeping profit margin on target.
- Coordinate research, design, and development inputs so the right work happens at the right time.
- Contribute to case studies and retrospectives once a project wraps up.

## What we’re looking for

Must-haves

- Experience in digital project or product delivery, ideally 4 or more years, delivering research, design, or technology engagements.
- Comfort managing scope, budget, and timelines on partnerships of meaningful size.
- Strong organisational skills and an eye for detail, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities at once.
- Confident stakeholder communication, and the judgement to know when to escalate.
- Experience working in agile, multidisciplinary environments, using delivery tools such as Jira and Asana.
- A collaborative, pragmatic approach, and a genuine interest in growing your delivery and commercial skills over time.

Nice-to-haves

- Experience contributing to proposals, scoping, or business development.
- Exposure to digital products in the public, community, or non-profit sectors.

## Key outcomes for this role

- You deliver great work on your projects and help us to win more
- Your projects land on time and on budget. Partners give positive feedback.
- You contribute to scoping and estimating for proposals, and to marketing activity and case studies.

## How we remunerate and support our team

The salary range for this role is $106,000 – $118,000 plus superannuation, depending on experience.

Joining Portable means becoming part of an organisation with an award-winning workplace culture, where your contributions are valued and you’re supported by a genuinely multidisciplinary team.

Here’s what else you can look forward to:

- Meaningful work with impact – engagements that make a positive difference in areas like mental health, social justice, and accessibility.
- Flexible work arrangements – hybrid working (up to 2 days per week remotely), flexible hours, and personalised start and finish times.
- Enhanced leave benefits – bonus annual leave based on tenure, the option to purchase additional leave, paid volunteering leave, and paid mental health days with no explanation required.
- Growth and development – structured career pathways, an annual professional development allowance of $1,000–$2,000 and access to our Leadership programs.
- Wellbeing support – up to 4 counselling sessions per year through our EAP with The Mindroom, covering general wellbeing, career planning and life’s challenges.
- Financial and family support – profit-sharing bonuses, employee share options, salary sacrificing, enhanced parental leave, and flexible part-time arrangements.

How to apply

We’re committed to building a diverse and equitable team. People from underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.

To be considered, please send us:

- Your resume.
- A short (max. one-page) cover letter answering:
- What attracted you to this role, and why do you think it’s a good fit for you?
- Tell us about a partnership or project you managed where things didn’t go to plan. What did you do, and what did you learn?
