Adam Smith International
Position description
Position: Program Coordinator (Knowledge and Communications)
Duration: Long-term to November 2025 (with possibility of extension)
Location: Bangkok, Thailand
Reports to: Knowledge and Dialogue Lead
Closing date: 11:59pm (Bangkok time) on Saturday 31 August 2024
Program Background
Partnerships for Infrastructure (P4I) is the Australian Government’s flagship infrastructure initiative for
Southeast Asia. It partners with Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Timor-Leste,
Vietnam and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to foster inclusive growth through
sustainable economic infrastructure (i.e. transport, energy, telecommunications, and utilities).
Delivered through a single cohesive team, the initiative is led by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs
and Trade in collaboration with EY, Adam Smith International, The Asia Foundation and Ninti One. The
Program’s Head Office is in Bangkok (the Hub).
P4I focuses on infrastructure prioritization and planning, policy and regulation, and procurement and project
preparation (P4I does not finance the delivery of infrastructure). All services aim to address gender equality
and social inclusion, and disaster risk reduction and climate change issues. P4I can respond to rapid
requests, but ultimately aims to develop longer-term infrastructure engagement.
Further information about P4I is available at www.partnershipsforinfrastructure.org
