The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) protects Australia and Australians from threats to their security.

We are currently recruiting for multiple AEE1 (EL1 equivalent) positions within our Recruitment and Workforce Planning and Analytics teams to deliver innovative recruitment campaigns, continuously improve efficiency and effectiveness across recruitment delivery, support data-driven decision making, and provide high quality insights and advice to business areas and our executive.

We're seeking leaders who are passionate about business partnering and collaboration across Human Resources to deliver ASIO the workforce it needs to succeed in our complex, challenging and changing security environment. You'll be part of a high-performing team working closely with management and key stakeholders to develop and implement strategies that make a real impact.
