CRC Learning Coordinator

Job Description

Canberra based, 24 months, with the possibility of extension to June 2029

Program Background

Action on climate change is at the heart of Australia’s International Development Policy. The policy commits the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to respond to the needs of Indo-Pacific countries and evidence of the accelerating climate crisis by increasing our climate investments and better addressing climate risks.

Climate Resilient Communities (CRC) is DFAT’s new flagship climate change program designed to help achieve Australia’s International Development Policy and meet Australia’s climate finance commitments over the next nine years (2024–33).

CRC will incentivise the flow of funds towards inclusive climate change programming—targeting community resilience in the water, food, and energy sectors— by co-funding bilateral and regional programs and attracting new sources of climate finance, while also raising the quality of climate integration across the sectoral programs.

The Role

The Learning Coordinator supports the implementation of CRC’s knowledge and learning (K&L) and monitoring evaluation and learning (MEL) strategies. This role contributes to developing skills and knowledge in inclusive climate and disaster resilience programming, as well as tracking progress, identifying lessons, and supporting CRC’s continuous improvement.

Working under the guidance of the K&L Lead and the MEL Lead, this position plays a key role in knowledge and data management and supports learning across the program activities. These activities strengthen program delivery and DFAT’s capability in inclusive climate and disaster resilience.

Key responsibilities of this role cover both the K&L and MEL portfolios. These activities include managing and delivering small-scale K&L and MEL projects while supporting the K&L and MEL Leads in delivering larger strategic initiatives.

For K&L, the Learning Coordinator serves as the primary point of contact for ongoing K&L support requests and maintains knowledge products, learning resources, and systems.

For MEL, the Learning coordinator will monitor project progress across each technical area of the CRC program and support data management and reporting.

Through this work, the Learning Coordinator supports the smooth delivery of K&L and MEL activities, helping ensure that CRC’s climate programming benefits from captured insights and learnings, responds to stakeholder needs, and builds a strong foundation for inclusive climate action and disaster resilience in the Indo-Pacific region.
