About the Role

ASD language analysts make a difference. As a member of a diverse team you will:

• Support the Australian Government by providing signals intelligence to keep Australia secure;
• Have opportunities to take a leadership role within ASD’s language cohort, including providing mentorship and undertaking quality control of the work of more junior linguists; and
• Mix your Mandarin language skills with a capacity to write concise and well researched reports, learn new skills to become a Signals Intelligence Analyst, or combine your language skills with other technical skills such as data analysis.

As this is a specialist language recruitment activity, language qualifications will contribute to the assessment of your ASD level.
