**The Role**
Contestability Division is seeking enthusiastic individuals to contribute to the Department of Defence's key policy and national security functions to protect and further Australia's national interests.

You will develop briefs to inform discussions and assist in decision making, as well as have opportunities to brief senior executives within the Division in preparation for key committees.

Contestability Division is within Defence's strategic centre and supports senior Defence committees by providing independent, evidence-based advice on Defence capability and business investment proposals. In particular, Contestability provides assurance that investment proposals align with Defence strategy and Government direction, and will be delivered according to funding and schedule guidance. We are an inclusive, collaborative and creative team, leveraging our innovation and diversity to provide unbiased, honest and timely advice for Defence and government decision makers.

We are committed to upskilling our workforce, providing numerous opportunities to expand your skills and knowledge through training and development, along with opportunities to experience cutting edge Defence capabilities such as fighter jets and warships up close.

We are seeking highly motivated, resilient and collaborative individuals to join our Division, and contribute to our strategic goals. To succeed in these roles, you are encouraged to respectfully challenge conventional views to facilitate and enable the development of strategic, agile and evidence-based solutions. You will have highly developed critical thinking and reasoning skills and be able to analyse complex and technical documents, identify issues, draw accurate conclusions and develop responses supported by evidence.
