**The Role**
Specifically, the DPL works across a wide stakeholder group, both inside and outside Defence, and harnesses DSTG resources to:
- Support planning, decision-making and execution of sensitive asymmetric effects.
- Explore innovative force options and concepts that enable asymmetric advantage.
- Assess Defence investments for their asymmetric potential.
Reporting to the Program Lead Strategic & Asymmetric Effects, the DPL assists in the design of the ‘Asymmetry Project’ and oversees the delivery of agreed work packages and tasks. They lead diverse and multidisciplinary teams working on some of Australia’s most pressing challenges.
Position Duties:
- Scope and design the project by understanding the challenges and priorities of Defence partners and sponsors, including identifying the demand for different DSTG capabilities.

**About our Team**
The Asymmetry project is one of DSTG highest priorities and was established in direct response to both the Government’s Defence Strategic Review (DSR) and subsequent National Defence Strategy (NDS). Working alongside other projects within the Integrated Force domain, the asymmetry project identifies, explores and develops innovative strategies, concepts and capabilities that pit Australia’s strengths against a potential adversary’s weaknesses, sometimes in non-traditional or unconventional ways, and across the spectrum of conflict. The team is highly distributed, with staff in each of DSTG’s main laboratories at Edinburgh, SA, Fishermans Bend, VIC, and Fairbarn, ACT.
You will be a team player and have a record of leading fast paced and high performing teams within sensitive contexts characterised by complexity, uncertainty and change. You will be adaptable and resourceful and work across boundaries to support your colleagues to achieve collective success.
Key skills/requirements of the role:
Highly Desirable
- Program Leadership: Experience leading a complex S&T project or program with multiple work packages.
- Science Excellence: A PhD (or equivalent work experience) in a relevant field such as international relations, operations research (broadly defined) or engineering.
- Relevant Experience: with one or more of the following:
- Force design processes and associated gaps and risks to guide ‘top down’ work on asymmetric force options.
- Emerging and disruptive technologies for ‘bottom-up’ asymmetric opportunities.
- Defence experimentation activities for exploring new and potentially asymmetric concepts and capabilities.
- Assessment frameworks and metrics for supporting investment decision-making.
- Security Clearance: TSPV (or willingness to undertake a TSPV process)
