**Your Role**
The provision of advice on the foreign sourcing of capability is a critical support mechanism for Defence’s delivery groups. You will directly support the implementation of the CASG 2.0 strategy, which will enhance CASG’s ability to meet the objectives of the Defence Strategic Review - in particular to improve speed to capability.

This is an exciting, fast paced and varied position that requires the successful applicant to comprehensively support the understanding and decision making behind major acquisition and sustainment programs. Regular and sensitive engagement with senior managers and foreign Government officials will be undertaken, and the applicant will need to be comfortable and resourceful in this environment.
