We're partnering with a global Defence organisation to appoint a Defence Industry Engagement Partner / Business Development Manager who will play a key role in driving growth within the Navy and NSSG domains. This is an ideal role for someone with a Royal Australian Navy background who's ready to step into a commercially focused position.

About the Role

This position is about execution and taking strategies that have already been developed and bringing them to life in the market. The focus is on Navy engagement, industry partnerships, and capturing new business.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Leveraging and expanding your Navy networks while building new industry partnerships.
  • Collaborating with innovation and engineering design teams to understand new technologies and solutions - then taking them to market.
  • Identifying and pursuing opportunities
  • Driving capture activities aligned to long-term business initiatives in the Navy.
  • Knowing when and who to partner with in the industry to deliver the right outcomes.

About You

We are seeking candidates with:

  • A Royal Australian Navy background - ideally at LCDR level, or recently transitioned out of service.
  • Strong understanding of Defence acquisition, sustainment, and NSSG operations
  • The ability to translate innovative solutions into business opportunities.
  • Proven success in building relationships with Navy stakeholders and Defence industry.
  • Australian citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain an NV1 security clearance.

Why This Role?

This is a career-defining opportunity to step out of uniform and into a high-impact commercial role. You'll be working with a Defence organisation dedicated to supporting the Royal Australian Navy and delivering innovative maritime solutions, where your knowledge and networks will directly influence program success.

This is your chance to make a direct impact on Australia's future naval capability with a company committed to supporting the Royal Australian Navy.

All applications should include your resume as a word document.
