    Policy Officers - Canberra, Australia - Australian Government Department of Defence

    Australian Government Department of Defence background
    Description


    The Role

    Our region is in the midst of the most consequential strategic realignment since the Second World War. In such circumstances, it has never been more important for the Defence strategic centre to employ a wide and diverse array of talents. Your contributions could help to solve some of the most pressing national security problems facing Australia today.

    The Strategy, Policy, and Industry (SP&I) Group is keen to explore opportunities for public servants from all backgrounds. Our work encompasses an array of policy and program development and management roles that will enable you to utilise your abilities to the utmost – and develop new ones that will enrich your future prospects.

    Examples of the impact you could make include:

  • Strengthening our policy settings and ties with the US and UK to support Australia's nuclear powered submarines and other advanced technology projects.
  • Working with our Pacific partners to improve regional security.
  • Gathering government and open-source data to analyse applications to advise whether activities will affect Australia's national interests.
  • Assisting and guiding Australian defence industry to find suitable export markets to improve Australia's economic resilience.
  • There has never been a more exciting time to write a new chapter in your career around the world of national security. Apply today to begin your journey with us

    About our Team
    We are a fully integrated civilian-military workforce, drawing on high-quality and motivated people from diverse backgrounds and academic disciplines who embody Defence and Australian Public Service values.

    We offer flexible working arrangements and a range of formal and informal professional development opportunities. While we offer a high degree of flexibility in the way we work, each position is located in Canberra. As such, successful applicants from outside Canberra, would need to move to Canberra if successful.

    Working within Strategy, Policy, and Industry Group is more than just a job; it offers opportunities over the course of a career to work across diverse national security and policy matters of national significance. We actively support mobility within the Group when the time is right but we also value our people developing their expertise in specific areas.

    Our Ideal Candidate
    An ideal candidate for a SP&I policy role should possess a strong background in research and analysis, excellent communication skills, and practiced leadership and people skills. They should also demonstrate critical thinking abilities, sound judgement with an innovative approach to problem solving, and the capacity to collaborate with diverse stakeholders. Experience in policy development, implementation, and evaluation would be highly beneficial.
