The Australian Human Rights Commission (the Commission) partners with other federal bodies to advance human rights and support inclusive and safe workplace cultures. The Commission’s Security Group includes partnerships with the Australian Defence Force/Department of Defence (Defence), the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and Australian Border Force (ABF). The Security Group forms part of the Sex Discrimination Commissioner’s portfolio.
The Defence Collaboration Team is looking for Executive Level 1 Senior Policy Officers, specialising in projects and/or strategy and engagement on an ongoing basis. The roles will contribute to the Commission’s work promoting a human-rights-based approach to workplace cultural reform.
As a Senior Policy Officer (Projects) in the Security Group, you will leverage your expertise in workplace cultural reform, human rights, research, stakeholder or project management. You will support and lead a variety of projects and activities, and provide advice and expertise, to build safe, diverse and inclusive workplaces within the partner security agency. You may be involved in leading projects that examine diversity and inclusion in recruitment and retention, building inclusive leadership capabilities, and promoting gender equality, respectful workplace behaviours and anti-discrimination. Working within a collaborative and supportive team, you will lead the production of high-quality research reports, briefings and policy reviews addressing identified needs within the partner organisation and promoting human rights.
The Senior Policy Officer (Strategy and Engagement) role requires high-level stakeholder engagement and relationship management skills, with an ability to discern strategic opportunities, to advance cultural change in a complex security environment and to identify and proactively manage emerging risk. In this role you will utilise your strategic management and program design experience to contribute to the development of partnership workplans, briefing the Sex Discrimination Commissioner and Senior Advisor on key partnership strategy meetings, and lead monitoring and evaluation of the program and projects.
To be successful in both roles, you will have experience in progressing workplace cultural reform, the management of research and/or high-level stakeholder engagement and relationship management. You will have a good understanding of human rights issues such as gender equality, workplace discrimination, accessibility, intersectionality, diversity and inclusion.
