The Position
The Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation (AGO) is the primary agency for geospatial data, information, and intelligence, known as Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) for Defence and government. The AGO works across various intelligence issues and matters of national significance, enabling military operations, delivering Defence capability, and contributing to national security outcomes.

We are hiring for AGO's Policy, Compliance, and Governance team, seeking outstanding candidates to fill multiple APS6 Compliance Officer Team Lead roles. This team provides vital support to AGO mission areas.

  • Develop corporate knowledge to understand how AGO conducts its activities.
  • Provide accurate, evidence-based, and timely compliance and policy advice.
  • Maintain AGO's relationship with the Office of the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security.
  • Work collaboratively across the organization and partner agencies to ensure the right policy settings and frameworks are in place.
  • Engage with mission areas to offer tailored compliance advice.
  • Develop authorization documents for high-risk activities.
  • Facilitate training and engage with stakeholders to provide tailored compliance guidance.
  • Manage and lead the team by mentoring new members and delegating tasks effectively.

This role is eligible for a Building Defence Capability Payment (BDCP), providing a premium in addition to the base salary for critical positions.

About the Team
Our team plays a crucial role in safeguarding the lives and safety of Australians by providing GEOINT to decision-makers. We operate in a dynamic and challenging environment, aiming to support AGO's core business and priorities.

We collaborate effectively within AGO, Defence, and the broader Australian Public Service to deliver geospatial intelligence in support of national interest.

  • Demonstrate strategic judgment in providing expert advice to senior decision-makers.
  • Build strong working relationships with stakeholders.
  • Possess excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Apply problem-solving skills to complex scenarios.
  • Have experience in managing teams and supporting staff development.
  • Thrive in a dynamic environment.

While experience in the National Intelligence Community or compliance-related roles is preferred, it is not mandatory. We welcome candidates from diverse backgrounds and encourage all to apply, even if they do not meet every requirement.
