**The Role**
Contestability Division is seeking enthusiastic individuals to contribute to the Department of Defence's key policy and national security functions to protect and further Australia's national interests. Your role will be to strengthen Australia's national security and economic resilience by using your analytical skills to enhance Defence's capability decisions. We are seeking individuals who may have broad experience across financial assurance, program and project management, engineering, scheduling, commercial and procurement, policy and strategy and/or data analytics.

You will work as part of a supportive team that will analyse Defence capability and investment proposals, and provide key advice to senior leaders and ministers. You will engage closely with Project Sponsors, Delivery and Enabling Groups to understand the proposed capability outcomes as well as providing advice on Defence and Government requirements for project approval. You will analyse capability submissions through world's best practice contesting methods, to provide evidence-based advice on affordability, best fit-for-purpose, ability to execute and risk. You will develop briefs to inform discussions and assist in decision making, as well as have opportunities to brief senior executives within the Division in preparation for key committees.

This role is eligible for an additional remuneration benefit known in Defence as a Building Defence Capability Payment (BDCP). This enables Defence to provide a premium, in addition to the base salary otherwise payable under the Defence Enterprise Agreement (DEA), for positions in occupational disciplines/classifications that are critical to Defence capability. For further information, please contact the contact officer.

**About our Team**
Contestability Division is within Defence's strategic centre and supports senior Defence committees by providing independent, evidence-based advice on Defence capability and business investment proposals. In particular, Contestability provides assurance that investment proposals align with Defence strategy and Government direction, and will be delivered according to funding and schedule guidance. We are an inclusive, collaborative and creative team, leveraging our innovation and diversity to provide unbiased, honest and timely advice for Defence and government decision makers.

Contestability Division offers flexible working arrangements, including part time and job share opportunities. We are committed to upskilling our workforce, providing numerous opportunities to expand your skills and knowledge through training and development, along with opportunities to experience cutting edge Defence capabilities such as fighter jets and warships up close.

We are seeking highly motivated, resilient and collaborative individuals to join our Division, and contribute to our strategic goals. To succeed in these roles, you are encouraged to respectfully challenge conventional views to facilitate and enable the development of strategic, agile and evidence-based solutions. You will have highly developed critical thinking and reasoning skills and be able to analyse complex and technical documents, identify issues, draw accurate conclusions and develop responses supported by evidence.
