Our work is interesting and meaningful, contributing directly to Australia’s national security. We offer rewarding roles that provide the opportunity to grow your career, and the flexibility to balance life and work. A career at ASC is like no other, delivering a deeper purpose we can all be proud of.

This is a full-time opportunity based at our Osborne site in SA.

• Partner with business leaders and Procurement to strengthen consulting engagement planning, delivery and outcomes.
• Drive knowledge transfer, organisational learning and capability development to reduce reliance on external providers.
• Monitor, measure and report on consulting engagement performance, value realisation and capability uplift.
• Provide trusted advice, assurance and recommendations to senior stakeholders on consulting value and organisational capability.
• Foster a culture of continuous improvement, collaboration and knowledge sharing across ASC.

About you
