Canberra, Australia HorizonOne Recruitment Full time

We reverse traditional recruiting models so you are the focus of our recruiting efforts - we tailor our service to ensure we find you the best possible fit.

**The Opportunity**:
We often don’t advertise roles in this space as the jobs are frequently filled through our existing community of Policy Officers - they are our first point of contact when clients flag an upcoming position.

Join the HorizonOne community by expressing your interest below. We can then have a chat about your motivations and needs, and find a role to suit your career goals and lifestyle.

**The Role**:
The responsibilities of each position vary, but as a Policy Officer, you will often be required to:

- Prepare quality policy advice that aligns with the department/agency’s strategic objectives for various decision-making bodies, senior management and other decision makers
- Prepare government briefing documents including question time briefs, senate estimates briefs, media releases and ministerial submissions
- Engage with a range of internal and external stakeholders to support the development of informed, strategic policy advice and the achievement of desired outcomes

**The Ideal Person**:
To be successful as a Policy Officer, you will have strong research, analytical and conceptual thinking skills to produce high quality and timely policy advice. You’ll have excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to build productive and collaborative working relationships with internal and external stakeholders. You’ll exercise sound judgement, work to tight deadlines, manage workloads and be flexible in responding to changing priorities.

To be eligible to work in federal government, you must be an Australian citizen, be willing to undergo a police check and often a Baseline security clearance (at a minimum).
