Remote / Work from Home
The Centre for Policy Development (CPD) is looking to hire a creative Senior Adviser to join our Sustainable Economy team. The successful candidate will help us make a difference on some of the most important issues for Australia’s economy: carbon transition, economic development, and the long-term structural challenges we need to build a sustainable and prosperous future.
This is a senior position, for someone looking to hone their policy development skills and make a difference. You will be the right person for the job if:
We promote flexibility and wellbeing and encourage our team to manage their own working hours and provide the option to work on a hybrid basis. We will consider either full-time or part-time for the right candidate. The successful candidate will be based in Sydney or Melbourne.
Salary: $90,000 - $105,000 + 11% superannuation
CPD is one of Australia’s leading independent policy institutes. At CPD, we are ambitious for long-term transformative change, and consistently have our eyes on our goals for Australia and our region: a government that is active and effective; a society that expands opportunity and social justice; an economy that is clean, innovative and productive; and a country that is respected for its leadership and cooperation.
You will be joining a smart and energetic team that is courageous with our contribution, but humble in the way we engage. We are committed to listening, learning and growing together.
We build constructive, respectful working relationships and we take equity and inclusion seriously. Our capacity to deliver real impact comes from a talented, collaborative team from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. The best solutions are developed when diverse voices contribute - especially people who are frequently and historically excluded from public policy decisions, and people with lived experience of the challenges our work addresses.

At CPD, we are committed to promoting equal employment opportunities and fostering a diverse and inclusive team. We encourage First Nations people, people of colour, people with lived experience of forced migration, people with disabilities, members of the LGBTQI+ community, and people without a family history of tertiary education to apply for this role.
As part of our dedication to fairness, we will employ a de-identified selection process and we will ask applicants to answer focus questions as part of their application.
We encourage talented individuals from all backgrounds to apply and be a part of our mission to make a positive impact on public policies. Your unique perspective and skills are valued here, and we look forward to reviewing your application.
