The Bureau's?National?Security and?Space Program provides meteorological, environmental and oceanographic support to customers integral to Australia's national security, economic prosperity and community safety through Government partners and key industry sectors to ensure they have the right information at the right time, to deliver on their goals.

The Bluelink project is a multi-decadal collaboration between the Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO and Department of Defence which aims to ensure Defence can access world-leading ocean forecast systems. This longstanding award-winning project has complex project and governance arrangements to manage costs, expectations and services between the stakeholders. The Bluelink Governance Lead will work closely with internal and external stakeholders to ensure that the governance arrangements around the project support delivery outcomes.

To be successful you will have:

  • Demonstrated experience building partner and stakeholder relationships;
  • Demonstrated project coordination skills;
  • Demonstrated behaviours that can add value to ADF and Australian Public Service (APS) outcomes by connecting Defence and the national security sector with highly skilled Bureau technical staff;
  • Demonstrated experience driving project governance and coordination;
  • An ability to work closely with senior leaders to support their direction while managing discrete work packages;
  • Make contributions to a broad range of management and other enterprise-wide activities within the Bureau.
