Managing sport partnerships at NSWIS calls for different experience from commissioning school infrastructure or leading a conduct and complaints team at Fire and Rescue NSW. These 10 current management vacancies span 10 employers, giving you a way to compare the work behind the job title and decide where your experience is most relevant.

The NSWIS High Performance position starts at $159,498 plus superannuation. Each card keeps salary and package wording separate so you can compare them accurately.
Closing dates run from 18 to 26 October 2026. Pay particular attention to the Revenue NSW deadline of 9:59 am on 19 October. Use the application checklists to compare page limits and written questions before committing time to a role, and check whether the appointment is ongoing or temporary.

Match your management experience to the work
If your strongest examples involve service improvement and organisational change, look at Business Enablement at Investment NSW and Supported Customers and Outreach at Revenue NSW. The first focuses on how an organisation operates; the second involves hardship services and leading teams that support customers. Both need evidence of change, with different consequences for the people using the service.
For infrastructure and commercial experience, compare Education’s commissioning role, Homes NSW’s Program Manager and TAFE’s Category Manager. They cover operational handover, oversight of housing programs and category strategy respectively. Use examples that show the stage of delivery you actually owned and how you handled risk or competing requirements.
The remaining roles have distinct professional foundations. Management Accounting at NSW Police needs finance expertise, while Parks Policy involves legislative and operational policy work. Conduct and Complaints and Hospitality and Gaming Inspectorate both involve sound judgement in sensitive or regulated environments. High Performance at NSWIS asks for substantial experience in elite sport.

Show what changed because of your decisions
A management example becomes useful when the reader can follow your reasoning. If you improved reporting across several project teams, explain what was unreliable, how you agreed definitions and responsibilities, and what you did when an input was late or inconsistent. Describe how leaders then used the information and support the result with measures you genuinely hold. That is a particularly relevant way to approach the Homes NSW question about program reporting.
Keep the level of your contribution clear. An applicant who set a program’s governance should explain that authority; someone who managed a workstream can describe its scope and the decisions they escalated. Choose examples that reveal the scale of your work without borrowing responsibility from other people in the team.
Compare the application effort as well as the salary
The application formats vary considerably. Liquor & Gaming NSW requests a resume of up to five pages, Fire and Rescue NSW asks for a one-page cover letter with a four-page resume, and TAFE NSW requests a targeted response as a Word document with qualification evidence where applicable. NSWIS adds a pre-screening response of up to 600 words. Open the relevant checklist before drafting so you know where each part of your evidence belongs.
For roles requesting a cover letter, the NSW cover letter template provides a useful starting structure. You can also request role-specific application support. Education encourages applicants to prepare authentic, personally written responses, so read that instruction carefully when deciding how to use guidance for its commissioning vacancy.
