ABOUT US

The Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) represents nearly 1.7 million workers and their families. Since 1927, we have led some of the most significant workplace struggles in Australia’s history. The ACTU’s role as a peak body is to encourage workers to join their union, be a national voice for our movement, and advance and defend workers’ rights through coordinated campaigns, representation, and support to our affiliates.

As a Senior AI Developer, you will play a key role in guiding the design, development, and deployment of AI-driven projects that support the strategic goals of the ACTU and the broader trade union movement. You’ll apply your expertise in AI platforms, large language models, agentic frameworks, and cloud services to build ethical, scalable, and impactful digital tools.

Reporting to the Digital Development and Data Manager, you will:

• Lead the development of AI-powered solutions aligned with ACTU’s strategic goals.
• Mentor developers and contribute to capacity-building across the team.
• Evaluate and recommend technologies for AI-related projects.
• Collaborate on application and integration development across ACTU’s digital ecosystem.
• Ensure excellence in data handling, security, and infrastructure.
• Design and deploy AI-based campaign tools for ACTU and affiliates.
• Maintain clear documentation and support transparency.
• Work closely with internal teams and external partners to deliver high-quality projects.
