You will develop productive working relationships throughout government, and will have excellent interpersonal, written and verbal communication skills, and demonstrate flexibility, initiative and resilience in your approach to your work. You will also have geographical subject knowledge and an interest in global affairs. You will innovatively use technology to support analysis. The key duties of the position include Research, interpret and analyse information relating to matters of political, strategic or economic significance to Australia.

Develop and maintain productive networks in ONI and with other government agencies, including through representing ONI at meetings as required.
