Subject: RE: EL1 Assistant Director CSOC Capability Development [SEC=OFFICIAL]
Thanks Nick,
The statements that have been added are very confusing and distract from the actual duties of
the role. I think having those statement will mean staff don’t apply because they think have large
and wide-ranging responsibility outside their actual remit. I also believe some of the statements
are not true? I don’t think there will be any representation and negotiate on behalf of the NDIA
to advance the NDIA’s interests across a range of forums?
The EL1 Assistant Director CSOC Capability Development is accountable under broad
direction to undertake very complex work that delivers quality outcomes across the
functions of the NDIA.
The EL1 Assistant Director CSOC Capability Development is an important team leadership
position within the NDIA and will have delegated authority and responsibility to resolve
issues and risks across wide-ranging activities of substantial depth involving significant
detail. The role requires providing leadership, control, planning, resource management,
performance management and decision making for the Team Membership and assigned
Contractors working within the work area.
The position is responsible for actively managing key internal and external stakeholder
relationships and where required will represent and negotiate on behalf of the NDIA to
advance the NDIA’s interests across a range of forums.
Regards,
Bradford
