Together, we are a multi-disciplinary advisory and delivery partner of choice for clients across Defence and National Security.

We currently have an opportunity for a Finance Officer in Canberra to work on MIWS projects .

What You’ll Do

This role offers a broad scope, with key role responsibilities including:

Engage in regular planning and stakeholder forums — attend PPMO planning days, project syncs, town halls, team meetings and stakeholder engagement sessions to stay aligned with program priorities.

Deliver cost modelling and financial analysis — develop, update and validate project cost models, prepare finance tables, support Investment Committee submissions and conduct variance, escalation and affordability analysis.

Provide project reporting and documentation support — produce PMB slide updates, decision briefs, dashboard inputs, monthly reporting artefacts and documentation for reviews and committee processes.

Support and mentor team members — guide new Cost Analysts, share knowledge on cost modelling and tender processes, and contribute to capability uplift across MIWS and project teams.

Perform ad ‑ hoc analytical and financial tasks — deliver targeted analysis (Workforce, NRE, AMCIP, PI, SAAB, CSI ‑ IPT), support contract change proposals, respond to finance queries and complete mandatory training requirements.

What You’ll Bring

Advanced cost ‑ modelling expertise — ability to build, update and validate complex project cost models, including AMCIP, workforce costings, baseline models, escalation calculations and Investment Committee–ready artefacts.

Strong financial analysis and reporting capability — skilled in variance analysis, asset valuation updates, preparing finance tables for CABSUB, and producing high ‑ quality documentation for committees and reviews.

Stakeholder engagement and communication skills — able to contribute to decision briefs, collaborate with project teams, and participate effectively in planning days, town halls, syncs and cross ‑ team forums.
