Strategic Communications Leader

The QinetiQ Australia team is seeking an experienced Strategic Communications Leader to join our senior leadership team. As a key member of the Australian Leadership team, you will be responsible for leading our corporate affairs function, encompassing external communications, media relations, government relations, stakeholder engagement, and all external communications and marketing activities.

This critical role ensures that communications and engagements reflect the business values of integrity, collaboration, and performance, thereby enhancing the company's reputation and supporting business strategic objectives.

Whilst the preference is for this newly created role to be based in Canberra, applicants from other Australian capital cities are welcome to apply.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a global technology and engineering company that exists to protect lives and secure the future. We deliver mission-critical services and systems to Defence, national security, and essential industry, and are investing in the future - starting with the people who will help shape it.

As an ideal applicant, you'll present with:

  • Significant experience in government relations, communications and/or marketing within Defence Industry or ASX listed companies in Australia, underpinned by relevant tertiary qualifications.
  • Demonstrated experience liaising with all levels of government, including clearly established relationships with appropriate senior government stakeholders and a strong network of senior defence and government contacts.
  • Demonstrated ability to identify and interpret complex policy and advisory issues in a clear and concise manner.
  • Experience in representing organisations at senior forums, and in developing and writing reports, presentation packages, briefing notes and agendas for diverse audiences.
  • Expert knowledge of the processes of government and defence including decision making, management, accountability systems, procedures and operations.
  • Demonstrated experience in successfully executing business development, customer relationship management and sales functions.
  • Demonstrated ability in leading high performing teams.
  • Strong understanding of campaign management in a corporate or political environment.
  • Strong strategic and commercial acumen.

Due to the nature of our business, applicants must also be eligible for Australian Defence security clearance. Current security clearance, whilst not essential, will be well regarded.

This role offers a competitive remuneration and benefits package that supports your evolving needs throughout your career. You'll share in the company's success, and be rewarded for your own. We'll invest in your development and provide an inclusive environment for you to succeed.

Some of our benefits include:

  • Access to LinkedIn Learning and professional development.
  • Flexible work arrangements.
  • Purchased leave program & loyalty leave.
  • Annual incentive scheme.
  • Complimentary salary continuance insurance.
  • Annual volunteering leave with Operation Give Back.
  • Relaxed dress code.

We value diversity of thought in everything we do, and actively seek applications from women, veterans and First Nations people. Aligned with our Diversity and Inclusion Strategy and Reconciliation Action Plan, we encourage applications from people who come from diverse backgrounds and experiences.

QinetiQ conducts pre-employment screening, including but not limited to identity verification and police checks, for all preferred candidates.
