Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 23, 2026. First seen by Alion on Sep 1, 2026. Cloudstaff scores B on the Alion truth index.
We are particularly interested in candidates with a genuine
interest in, and ideally prior experience within, defence,
intelligence, national security, cyber security, government, early
careers, workforce development or related professional
services environments.
You do not need to be a technical
cyber or intelligence practitioner. A demonstrated interest in
Australia's national security, Defence, intelligence or cyber
ecosystem will be viewed favourably during selection.
We are not looking for political or ideological alignment. We are
looking for professional curiosity: why the program matters, how
people enter specialist careers, and the role practitioners and
SMEs play in getting them there.
DESIRABLE, NOT MANDATORY
Typically 3+ years of relevant professional experience, with
strong candidates considered based on capability rather than
exact tenure.
PARTICULARLY STRONG BACKGROUNDS
Defence, intelligence or cyber recruitment · graduate and
early-career programs · government workforce programs
· defence industry · cyber or STEM education ·
government program administration · professional
services operations. Experience coordinating senior
SMEs, advisers, consultants or specialist practitioners is
particularly valuable.
Qualifications
Genuine minimum
requirements
01 Exceptional written and spoken English
Polished professional communication with Australian and
international stakeholders: emails, firm follow-ups, concise
status updates and clearly raised issues.
03 Strong Excel and spreadsheet capability
Maintain registers, use formulas, sort and filter, reconcile
information, track utilisation, build basic management
reports and keep data clean.
05 Program or project administration
Demonstrated experience coordinating programs, projects,
professional services engagements or similarly complex
workflows. You understand owner, action, deliverable,
dependency, deadline, risk, issue and approval.
07 Strong systems literacy
Microsoft 365, Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Excel, Xero,
CRM, project management platforms and cloud document
systems.
09 Discretion and information security
Access controls, confidentiality, secure document handling,
phishing and social engineering awareness, sound
password practice and need-to-know principles.
THE FIRST 90 DAYS
These are not aspirational. They are the floor for this
appointment.
02 Exceptional organisational capability
Multiple concurrent workstreams, people, deadlines,
invoices, reviews and deliverables. Prioritisation, attention
to detail and structured record keeping.
04 Xero and finance administration
Prior Xero experience, or strong comparable accounting
system experience and the ability to become proficient
quickly. Invoices, payable and receivable, invoice
matching, payment status and basic reconciliation. Formal
accounting qualifications are not required.
06 External stakeholder coordination
Comfortable dealing with senior external professionals:
coordinating SMEs, chasing actions, confirming availability,
managing requests and escalating appropriately.
08 AI productivity
Comfortable using tools such as ChatGPT, Claude or
Microsoft Copilot for drafting, summarisation, action
extraction, analysis, reporting and workflow improvement.
10 Proactive ownership
Non-negotiable. Seeing an incomplete action, the thought
is "I need to find out what is happening here", not "that is
not my job". This role needs someone who closes loops
rather than records tasks
Perks and benefits
