**Our Department Values**

Our values set the direction for what it means to work in our department. They inform the standard and expectations of behaviours, skills and capabilities and the attributes we currently have, will continually work to achieve and develop, and that we use to acknowledge and attract, retain and recruit into our department.

**The opportunity we have available**

**The International Aviation, Technology and Services Division **is responsible for providing policy, regulatory and program functions in support of the Government’s oversight of Australia’s aviation and airports sectors. The Division’s work includes international and domestic engagement, and involves working closely with portfolio agencies, airline and airport operators and other stakeholders on topics such as aviation safety, airspace and air traffic management, future technologies, and airport planning and development.

**The Safety and Future Technology Branch** is responsible for providing policy advice on flight and airspace issues; coordinating the Government’s response to emerging technologies such as drones; providing governance oversight of the aviation portfolio agencies; and providing the secretariat for a number of aviation advisory groups.

**The Strategic Agency Governance and Engagement Section** delivers strategic policy advice on aviation safety issues and undertakes oversight, governance and engagement activities in relation to aviation portfolio agencies: Airservices Australia, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB). As part of its oversight and governance role, the Section supports the Minister by ensuring the operations of these portfolio agencies align with the Government’s aviation policies and legislation, and meet the expectations of the aviation sector and the Australian community. The team also provides secretariat support for regular Deputy Secretary/CEO level leadership meetings and the Aviation Policy Group and Aviation Implementation Group meetings.

We are looking for a capable **APS6 Policy/Governance Officer **to join our Strategic Agency Governance and Engagement Section. The team works in a dynamic environment, engages regularly with counterparts in the aviation agencies and across the department, and provides advice to the Minister and Senior Executive on a variety of important issues relating to aviation safety.

Key duties may include:

- Preparing strategic policy advice in conjunction with internal and external stakeholders for the operation of the three agencies Airservices Australia, CASA and ATSB, and provide ministerial, parliamentary and executive briefings, ministerial and cabinet submissions to secure government decisions to ensure successful outcomes.
- Building and maintaining strong and productive relationships with key internal and external stakeholders, and collaborating to develop strategic policy advice on aviation safety matters.
- Provide corporate governance oversight to the three agencies Airservices Australia, CASA and ATSB through the review of quarterly reports, annual reports, corporate plans, financial results, board appointments, board skills matrix, and ministerial statements of expectation.
- Providing strategic support for key senior executive meetings to support the Secretary and Deputy Secretaries attendance, including preparing agendas, briefs and meeting papers.
- Assisting in ad hoc tasks and requests as required from time to time.

**Who are we looking for?**

They will have effective written and verbal communication skills and experience (or ability to develop skills) preparing sound policy advice.

We are looking for a team member committed to contributing to a positive, values-driven team culture, with a willingness to continue to learn, develop and foster an environment for team members to do the same.

A sound understanding or experience in policy, governance and financial analysis is desirable, but not essential.

To be successful in this role, you will need to demonstrate your ability to:

- **Achieve results and quality outcomes** by showing initiative, working as part of a team delivering on competing priorities, including within tight timeframes;
- **Communicate effectively**, both written and verbal, delivering strategic advice and information in a variety of formats for a range of audiences;
- **Collaborate effectively and maintain productive relationships**, using your strong interpersonal skills to engage with a range of stakeholders to achieve positive outcomes;
- **Think critically**, by illustrating your capacity for sound judgement, initiative and evidence-based decision making; and
- **Maintain drive and resilience**, particularly when dealing with ambiguity and change and adapt to change and meet tight timeframes in a fast-paced and high-profile team.
