Canberra, Australia Australian Government Full time

$115,899 - $130,733 (plus Super)
- Canberra - ACT

**The Role**
Our region is in the midst of the most consequential strategic realignment since the Second World War. In such circumstances, it has never been more important for the Defence strategic centre to employ a wide and diverse array of talents. Your contributions could help to solve some of the most pressing national security problems facing Australia today.

The Strategy, Policy, and Industry (SP&I) Group is keen to explore opportunities for public servants from all backgrounds. Our work encompasses an array of policy and program development and management roles that will enable you to utilise your abilities to the utmost - and develop new ones that will enrich your future prospects.

Examples of the impact you could make include:

- working with our Pacific partners to improve regional security
- Preparing the Minister to conduct talks with international counterparts on Defence strategic policies or military engagement
- Working with the Australian Defence Force to provide policy guidance for operations.

No two days would be the same, guiding your team’s work, mentoring your team members, conducting meetings to support and influence stakeholders, briefing Defence’s Senior Leadership, consulting with other Government agencies, engaging foreign government stakeholders and the public or contributing to corporate change.

**About our Team**
Strategy, Policy, and Industry Group is a fully integrated civilian-military workforce, drawing on high-quality and motivated people from diverse backgrounds and academic disciplines who embody Defence and Australian Public Service values.

We offer flexible working arrangements and a range of formal and informal professional development opportunities. While we offer a high degree of flexibility in the way we work, each position is located in Canberra. As such, successful applicants from outside Canberra would need to relocate to Canberra if successful.

Working within Strategy, Policy, and Industry Group is more than just a job; it offers opportunities over the course of a career to work across diverse national and international security and policy matters of national significance.
