You will have a track record of successful delivery with various Federal Government agencies, and ideally with Defence. You will hold an active clearance of NV1 as a minimum. You must be an Australian citizen.

You will have very strong program management disciplines, working closely with the PMO, contract management, account teams, and the client to drive to the programs to meet schedule and budget objectives.
