Key skills for this role
We are Northrop Grumman Australia (NGA). Our 800 strong team is leveraging unparalleled global resources to deliver sovereign Defence capability aligned to the Government’s priorities across Aeronautics, Mission Critical Systems, Space and Guided Weapons. As we build our business and our capabilities, we are also developing a reputation as a great place to work. Help us define what is possible for our nation and for your career.
This new, senior role sits at the centre of how risk is managed across the MQ‑4C Triton program, a critical Defence capability delivering long-endurance maritime surveillance for Australia.
You will work closely with program leads to surface risks early, shape them into clear actions, and drive them through to resolution.
There is a framework, along with data and tools already in place. The opportunity is to lift engagement, build rhythm, and ensure it is used consistently to support better decisions across the program.
You will partner directly with leaders to translate concerns into structured risks, maintain momentum across the risk lifecycle, and step in where escalation is required.
You will also contribute to performance discussions by providing clear insight into what the data is showing and where attention is needed.
This role is based in Adelaide and requires the ability to obtain and maintain an NV1 clearance.
