**The Role**
International Engagement is a key tool for the Australian Government to achieve its overall strategic objectives. CASG has a critical and far reaching role in engaging other countries, particularly through a range of materiel cooperation agreements and DEPSEC CASG's position as the National Armaments Director. The CASG Assistant Director of International Engagement will provide support to Ministers, DEPSEC CASG and Division Heads on engagement and international policy matters. With the increasing importance of international collaborations, including as an input to capability, the importance of delivering key policy input and the conduct of CASG partner engagement is growing.
This is an exciting and fast paced position that requires the successful applicant to coordinate key international events for CASG. Regular engagement with senior managers and Government, and foreign Government officials will be undertaken, and the applicant will need to be comfortable in being self-sufficient and exercising a high degree of judgement in this environment.
Excellent writing skills are required, as is a broad knowledge of the workings of Defence and preferably (but not necessarily) CASG. Leadership, judgement, interpersonal skills, strategic nous, resilience, agility and attention to detail will all be exercised in this role.

They will be able to understand, condense and align disparate briefing material into clear and concise briefs and talking points for senior officers. There will be a requirement to evaluate industry policy and program issues and recommend courses of action.
