This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-performing team where you'll have the autonomy to build relationships, influence strategy and contribute directly to some of Australia's most significant Defence technology programs.

  • Ability to absorb, apply and communicate technical information to a diverse audience
  • Excellent customer and vendor relationship building and management skills
  • Strong influencing and negotiation skills
  • Supporting and enriching the existing strategic vendor relationships to ensure Datacom is top of mind for opportunities
  • Excellent written and oral skills
  • Experience in using Salesforce as the sales CRM for tracking opportunity progression through the sales cycle.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
