Job Description

We are seeking an APS 6 Strategic and International Policy Officer to lead the delivery of international industrial collaboration policy advice and engagements. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing Defence's international industrial collaboration strategy and country prioritisation framework.

We are looking for someone with highly-developed communication and critical thinking skills, and a strong understanding of the strategic environment. The ideal candidate has:

  • A collaborative, team-oriented approach to supporting and promoting organisational outcomes;
  • Sound judgement and a proactive, innovative and solution-oriented approach to problem solving;
  • Highly-developed written and verbal communication skills and the ability to understand and tailor their messaging to suit their audience;
  • A self-reflective approach to work so they can identify opportunities for improvement, capitalise on knowledge and skills across the organisation and gather new ideas and viewpoints;
  • Developed interpersonal skills to liaise, collaborate and build productive stakeholder relationships – including anticipating stakeholders' expectations and concerns;
  • The personal responsibility, pride in their work, and resilience to achieve goals, even when priorities shift.

We welcome candidates with diverse life experiences and perspectives. If you have not worked previously in Defence or Government, but have transferrable skills that meet the above characteristics, we encourage you to apply.
