  • Defence bid/project experience (ASDEFCON, MSP IWPs, Defence work packages) is desirable.
  • Proven experience collaborating with technical SMEs to produce customised content.
  • Strong track record in advanced MS Word use. Proficiency in Adobe Suite (Acrobat, InDesign) is preferable.
  • A team player who can collaborate with diverse stakeholders and Subject Matter Experts.
What's In It For You
  • Your Employer – You will join a significant organisation that is highly skilled and well-resourced in delivering successful bids.
  • Impactful work – Your words will directly contribute to securing major Defence contracts.
  • Collaboration & culture – You will be part of a high-performing, supportive team that values knowledge sharing and success.
  • Variety & challenge – Work on diverse bids and projects where no two days are the same.
  • Recognition & visibility – Play a key role in shaping outcomes that matter with healthy career potential
  • Hybrid working – 3 days in the office, 2 from home. Some interstate travel to offer variety and build strong peer networks
  • Total salary package between $135,000 - $150,000 is on offer.

If you are ready to show your ability to craft compelling content to play a central role in winning key contracts, we want to hear from you
