The Role
Military Strategic Commitments (MSC) Division is seeking a professional with a policy background to support our mission. MSC welcomes applications from highly motivated individuals to fill a role in providing critical inputs to Defence activities through strategic policy advice, planning guidance, management of ADF commitments and reputation, and leading Defence input into the National Crisis Management Framework.
The position will provide governance capability, stability and continuity within the Domestic/Regional Directorate through retention of corporate knowledge during High Risk Weather Season each year, and in support of Major Events and High Profile Public Events. The role will also assist with Branch security requirements. The right candidate for this role will thrive in a dynamic and fast-paced work environment where they can work independently to help deliver key national Defence objectives.
To be successful in these roles you are outcome-focused with a high level of attention to detail and be able to engage constructively and provide assistance to a range of critical stakeholders; including Senior Defence Staff and Executives. Demonstrated experience with managing competing priorities and exceptional time management skills, along with an understanding of the Defence Strategic Review and the Defence Assistance to the Civil Community policy are a must.
About our Team
We are a 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, this position is located in Canberra. As such, successful applicants from outside Canberra would need to move to Canberra. Working within Vice Chief of the Defence Force Group is more than just a job; it offers opportunities over the course of a career to work across diverse security, policy and operational matters of national significance. We actively support mobility within Defence when the time is right and value our people developing their expertise in across multiple areas.
Our Ideal Candidate
Our ideal candidate has excellent attention to detail and possesses well developed organisational and priority-management skills. To be successful in this role you need to:
- Use your initiative and solve problems;
- Complete tasks, plan, and coordinate business priorities;
- Successfully implement and administer Division security procedures;
- Work collaboratively in a team-based environment, actively participating in, and contributing to, team and organisational objectives;
- Be an excellent communicator who can liaise with a range of internal and external stakeholders;
- Be self-motivated, pro-active, organised, and enjoy being part of a team; and
- Have good judgement.
