- Russell - ACT

**The Role**
Are you a dynamic, innovative, resilient professional who would like to play a leading role in a team driving historic investment in Australia’s current and future land capability?

If so, this role is for you.

Land Capability Division’s capability development programs are undergoing a period of significant change as Defence acquisition transitions to a more programmatic, integrated and holistic approach to capability development.

This requires innovative thinking, professionalism, change management and stakeholder engagement skills and an ability to achieve results.

To help us achieve this, we need professional, innovative, resilient Deputy Directors to work closely with the Program Directors for each of our Programs.

The Deputy Director is responsible for the effective and efficient management of the Program on behalf of the Program Director.

This role deputises for the Program Director in their absence, oversees all Program planning and support functions, and ensures sufficient resources to deliver the Program's strategic objectives.

The Deputy Director/Assistant Director will:

- Lead the delivery and implementation of the Director’s strategic intent, including the development of the Program strategic narrative aligned with this intent.
- Lead the development and delivery of key program artefacts including the Program Strategy, Program Governance Plan, Program Management Plan, Program Structure and Workforce Plan, and Business Management Plan.
- Leads the management of program budget, operational functioning, program schedule, and program level risks & issues.
- Oversee the accurate and effective communication of the program strategy and key program artefacts to all relevant stakeholder groups, including industry where appropriate, nested within LCD’s broader strategic communications campaign.
- Oversee the implementation of the Director's strategic intent by leading program staff, and providing support and guidance to other sub-program staff.
- Maintain contemporary knowledge of the program deliverables and represent the Director at forums the Director is unable to attend.
- Maintain contemporary knowledge of Defence strategic direction and supporting artefacts; legislative, financial and administrative frameworks; and government decision-making processes and regulations, to ensure programmatic compliance.
- Facilitate the Land Capability Division Chief of Staff Branch in accessing information from the program to feed into divisional and group-level deliverables.
- Analyse program gaps and opportunities, establish options in consultation with relevant stakeholders, and provide recommendations to the Director.

**About Our Team**
The five land capability program teams these positions relate to are professional, multidisciplinary integrated teams comprising ADF, APS and contractor workforce, working together under their respective Program Directors.

These programs are organised under two Branches - Platforms Branch and Systems and Integration Branch, within Land Capability Division, which is part of Army Headquarters.

We are recruiting to newly created positions in five of Army’s eight capability programs, supplementing those that already have Deputy Directors:

- **Land Combat Vehicle Program** - Responsible for Army’s tank, combat engineering vehicle, infantry fighting vehicle, combat reconnaissance vehicle projects.
- **Land Command, Control, Communications and Computing (C4) Program** - Bringing together threat informed advanced communications and computing capabilities to integrate the whole Land Combat System into the joint and coalition forces. Land C4 is also leading Army in maturing a true programmatic capability approach partnered closely with industry. A demanding, collaborative and highly rewarding team environment seeking applicants who want to make a difference.
- **Dismounted Combat Program** - Responsible for delivering soldier combat systems including small arms, direct fire support weapons, night vision equipment, soldier personal equipment, combat protective equipment and clothing; the program is undergoing a transition to a more programmatic approach to acquisition and sustainment of capability.
- **Combat Support Program** - Responsible for very diverse projects requiring substantial integration effort, this program brings together artillery and land-based strike, engineering capability, air and missile defence and more, with considerable overlap with high-profile multi-domain programs.
- **Land Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Electronic Warfare (ISREW) Program** - responsible for modernising and sustaining land intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, electronic warfare, information warfare, geospatial, cyberspace operations, human intelligence, counter-intelligence and advanced capabilities.

The merit pool will also potentially be used for similar future vacancies in other land
