Joint Influence Activities (JIA) is a Directorate within the Joint Information Warfare Branch which strives to be agile in response to a dynamic information environment. Unlike conventional war in the physical domains, the information environment is ‘always on’ and the battle to have the dominant narrative is intense and constant. Therefore the capabilities developed by this Directorate push the limit to remain on par with developments in information and cyber domains which change more rapidly than any other.

The JIA Directorate works across Defence’s groups and services to further the Australian Defence Force’s ability to conduct influence activities in the information environment. This includes developing joint policy, concepts, strategies, doctrine, education, training and building capability.

We are a medium sized team who use the skills of a blended workforce to deliver future capabilities to the war fighter.

We are looking for a Strategy and Concepts Officer who:

- Is a high achiever, capable of excellent stakeholder engagement and relationship building across the Defence Enterprise;
- Takes the initiative, capable of identifying courses of action and planning ahead;
- Thrives on autonomy and likes taking responsibility for outcomes within their control;
