SPA Australia is seeking a skilled Military Operations Analyst to join a growing team of Space professionals providing objective advice and operational insight across Defence.
This position will support the development, integration, and employment of space capabilities within the broader joint and multi-domain force.
At SPA Australia, you will work on challenging, mission-critical projects that shape the future of Australia's space and Defence capabilities.
We offer a supportive team culture, flexible working arrangements, and opportunities for career development in a growing and dynamic sector.
Responsibilities The successful candidate will provide evidence-based analysis and operational context to inform capability development, force design, and mission planning activities related to Australia's space domain.
This role involves close collaboration with Defence stakeholders and demands exceptional written communication skills, as a significant portion of the work will involve producing high-quality, defensible reports, briefs, and technical documentation for senior decision-makers.
Key Responsibilities Conduct operational analysis of space capabilities (e.g., SATCOM, ISR, SDA, PNT, space control) in support of force design and capability acquisition.
Produce clear, concise, and well-structured written reports, briefs, and technical documentation for Defence clients and senior decision-makers.
Translate complex operational or technical issues into actionable recommendations.
Support the development of concepts of operations (CONOPS), campaign plans, and mission threads for space and multi-domain missions.
Provide subject matter expertise in operational planning, mission assurance, and joint integration of space effects.
Participate in simulation, red-teaming, and war-gaming to test space capability options and operational employment.
Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams of engineers, scientists, and analysts to ensure mission relevance and practicality.
Qualifications We are looking for a motivated and mission-focused professional with the following attributes: Required Qualifications: Previous experience in military operations or operational planning, preferably with experience in joint operations, space operations, electronic warfare, ISR, communications, or command and control.
Demonstrated ability to apply military knowledge to operational planning, capability development, or mission design.
Understanding of joint force integration, space operations, or multi-domain operational concepts.
Ability to work independently, and as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
Proven ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and concisely in written products.
Ability to think critically, synthesize large amounts of information, and communicate recommendations clearly for military and government audiences.
