- Canberra - ACT
**The Role**
Strategy, Policy, and Industry Group is seeking a number of Policy Officers to contribute to the Department of Defence’s key policy and national security functions to protect and further Australia’s national interests.
Your role would be to work as part of a team to strengthen Australia’s national security and economic resilience; including, using your skills to devise long-term strategy and policies to guide and align Defence; direct Defence’s international engagement; and help build a sovereign industrial base.
The Policy Officer roles are spread across Strategy, Policy, and Industry Group. While these roles are highly varied, they all involve working as part of a high-performing team to deliver national security objectives.
Your team’s work could range from preparing the Minister to conduct talks with their international counterparts on defence strategic policies or military engagement, working with the Australian Defence Force to provide policy guidance for operations, designing and implementing programs to build capability with international partners, scanning the horizon to assess emerging strategic issues, or guiding industry to better meet Defence requirements.
No two days would be the same - you might help to conduct meetings to support and influence stakeholders, brief Defence’s Senior Leadership, work closely with other government agencies, industry stakeholders and the public, or contribute to corporate transformational change.
**About our Team**
We are a fully integrated civilian-military workforce and draw 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, these positions are all located in Canberra.
Applicants from outside Canberra, would be required to move 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 security and policy matters of national significance. We actively support mobility within the Group when the time is right but we also value our people developing their expertise in specific areas.
We are seeking highly motivated, enthusiastic and collaborative Policy Officers to join our Group, and contribute to our strategic goals.
To succeed in these roles, applicants must demonstrate:
- practised teamwork skills;
- sound judgement with an innovative approach to problem solving;
- superior written and verbal communication skills;
- strong stakeholder relationship-building skills; and
- adaptability, resilience and flexibility in the face of changing priorities.
