  • Support the delivery of strategic and international projects
  • Coordinate engagement with industry, government, and international stakeholders.
  • Shadow managers to learn market research and gain real-world insights.
  • Work on initiatives that blend commercial thinking with mission impact, including funding models and partnerships.
  • Be part of business development efforts that strengthen Australia's influence and create new revenue opportunities.
  • Contribute to the design of new services and offerings.
We are seeking individuals who

  • Demonstrate strong communication skills and thrive in team environments
  • Are passionate about innovation and collaboration
  • Exhibit curiosity, adaptability, and initiative, with a positive, collaborative mindset
  • Some experience in one of commercial strategy, policy, or international affairs
