Intelligence Officer

2 months ago


Canberra, Australia Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Full time

Ever found yourself trying to figure out what someone else is thinking? That's intelligence gathering - the process of learning the intentions of others in order to make more informed decisions.

The Intelligence Officer's role, in essence, is to collect, manage and plan intelligence gathering from sources outside of Australia's borders. In many cases, the intelligence they're collecting involves an active threat to Australia's security or economic interests.

To do this, they use superior intellect, interpersonal skills and judgement to lead successful intelligence operations. Although they share these common traits, there is no stereotypical Intelligence Officer. So if you're highly motivated, curious about people and like to travel, this may be the role for you.

You'll have an innate sense of-curiosity, enjoy connecting with people from different cultures, and know what it takes to strive for results. You'll be put in situations that draw on your judgement, intellect and inner strengths like no other type of job.

To succeed as an Intelligence Officer, you will need to demonstrate superior interpersonal and liaison skills in order to build strong relationships with people. You will have presence and impact, with a proven ability to interact effectively with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds.

Intelligence Officers must be curious, quick-thinking and highly self-motivated, with excellent written communication skills, high levels of maturity, excellent judgement and the ability to assess risk. As Intelligence Officers operate in difficult and high-pressure environments, you will also need to demonstrate the highest level of personal integrity and professionalism.
