El 1 - Pacific Division Policy Manager

3 weeks ago

Canberra, Australia Australian Government Department of Defence Full time

$111,441 - $125,705 (plus Super)
- Canberra - ACT

**The Role**
There has never been a more exciting time to work for the Australian Public Service and the Department of Defence. As the geo-political landscape becomes increasingly complex, so does Australia’s role within the Pacific region and it is critical that we have high performing policy managers leading the Department’s key policy and national security functions to protect and further Australia’s national interests in the region.

You will play a vital role in leading a team to strengthen Australia’s national security and economic resilience, including using your skills to devise long-term strategy and policies to guide and align Defence, direct Defence’s international engagement, and help build a sovereign industrial base.

As a leader within the Division, you will be responsible for developing high-performing teams and nurturing high-potential talent. On a daily basis, your team’s work could range from preparing the Minister to conduct talks with their international counterparts on Defence strategic policies or military engagement, working with the Australian Defence Force to provide policy guidance for operations, scanning the horizon to assess emerging strategic issues or guiding industry to better meet Defence requirements.

No two days will be the same - you will be setting strategic direction for your team, mentoring team members, conducting meetings to support and influence stakeholders, briefing Defence’s Senior Leadership, consulting with other government agencies, industry stakeholders and the public, or contributing to corporate transformational change.

**About our Team**
The Pacific Division (PACDIV) is an exciting new Division formed within the Strategy, Policy, and Industry (SP&I) Group and is comprised of four core Branches: Pacific Maritime (PACMAR), Pacific Regional & Governance (PRGOV), Indo-Pacific Infrastructure (IPINFRA) and Pacific and Timor-Lesté (PACTL).

In PACDIV, we have a respected and trusted network of relationships with internal and external stakeholders that we leverage to develop effective solutions to challenges and to deliver on the needs of Defence and our Pacific Partners. We manage strategic events and work with key regional institutions, including the Pacific Island Forum, to achieve their goals.

PACDIV is a fast-paced and dynamic division where people are our main focus, from our Australian based staff to those working in our overseas network. We offer an inclusive, supportive and flexible workplace with an environment built on collaboration, learning and trust.

Working within PACDIV will provide you with an array of exciting and unique opportunities, including:

- The ability to work in a diverse and high performing team, including working alongside and learning from Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), incredible APS leaders and industry partners;
- Various learning and development opportunities, including formal and informal training, coaching and mentoring; and
- The opportunity to explore different types of work and maintain a growth mindset while you find the work you love.

We are passionate about our people and are committed to creating a positive and psychologically safe environment for you to thrive. In addition to endless learning opportunities, working in PACDIV will also mean you get to enjoy:

- Divisional and Branch level social activities;
- Opportunities to network across the Division and broader Department; and
- Opportunities to join Departmental Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) initiatives.

In addition to being a highly-motivated, enthusiastic and collaborative leader, we believe the following skills and attributes would make you successful in this role:

- practiced leadership and people skills, including experience developing and nurturing talent;
- sound judgement with an innovative approach to problem solving;
- strong written and verbal communication skills;
- strong relationship-building stakeholder skills; and
- adaptability, resilience and flexibility in the face of changing priorities.
