**The Role**
and Executive Officer (APS 6) to join a high-performing team who work in support of the Chief Defence Scientist (CDS).
The EL 1 Deputy Chief of Staff provides a broad range of strategic coordination and guidance for the Office of the CDS and DSTG. In this role you will operate under broad direction to achieve complex work within our high-profile and fast-paced office, including supporting CDS in relationship management with the Group's leadership team and their senior leaders.

Working closely with the Executive Assistant, the Deputy Chief of Staff manages the daily operations of the office and leads the small high-performing team who provide administrative and executive support to the CDS. The Deputy Chief of Staff provides leadership in resource management including recruitment, accommodation, governance, record-keeping, and oversight of the office budget and expenditures.

The APS 6 Executive Officer leads business support and administrative activities for the Office of the CDS. In this role, you will perform a broad range of tasks, including reviewing and preparing material for the CDS (for example: staff messages, meeting agendas and papers, correspondence) and leading the secretariat function for DSTG Senior Leadership Team meetings.

These roles are privileged and highly rewarding positions offering insight and access to the Chief Defence Scientist and DSTG Senior Executives, and will broaden your strategic awareness of DSTG, Defence, academia, industry and the public sector.

**About our Team**
The Office of the Chief Defence Scientist includes two teams. The Executive Support team includes the Chief of Staff, Deputy Chief of Staff, Executive Officer, Administration Officer, and Executive Assistant. The Coordination and Ministerial Liaison Team includes a Director, Deputy Director, and two Ministerial Liaison Officers.

These two teams work in lock step to support the Chief Defence Scientist and, by extension, Defence Science and Technology Group in delivering innovation, science and technology for Defence.
