Expression of Interest: Consultant (Canberra Based)

Overview

Are you an experienced professional with a Defence or secure Government background looking to take the next step in your consulting career? At KJR, we're building our Canberra capability and are seeking passionate and security-cleared Consultants to join our team. If you're motivated to solve complex problems, work on projects of national significance, and contribute to industries that matter, this is your opportunity.

What You'll Do

As a Consultant at KJR, you'll play a key role in delivering high-impact outcomes for Defence and Government clients. You will:

• Design, plan, and implement testing, assurance, and quality strategies across critical projects.
• Leverage modern tools and technologies to support secure and large-scale systems.
• Collaborate with clients, stakeholders, and experienced KJR consultants to deliver trusted solutions.
• Apply your Defence, Intelligence, or Government domain knowledge to ensure successful project outcomes.
• Grow your consulting expertise while shaping technology solutions that protect and advance Australia's interests.

At KJR, no two engagements are the same. You may find yourself contributing to Defence capability uplift, strengthening Government digital resilience, or supporting secure enterprise transformations.

Who We're Looking For

We'd love to hear from you if you are:

• An experienced professional with a background in Defence, or secure Government environments.
• A holder of Baseline, NV1, NV2 (or higher) security clearances (mandatory for this role).
• A skilled problem solver with proven experience in IT, systems engineering, cyber security, testing, or digital transformation.
• A confident communicator who can bridge the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Motivated to learn, adapt, and bring your expertise into meaningful projects of national importance.
• An Australian Citizen (required for security clearance eligibility).
