About the Team

You’ll join a team where people work with integrity, inclusion, innovation, agility, collaboration and commitment. In practice, that means sharing ownership, solving complex problems together and staying connected to the customer context, the purpose behind the work and how each role contributes to meaningful outcomes.

The Mission Software Solutions business delivers customized and off-the-shelf software solutions to Defence, Intelligence and other Government sectors. The business also builds capabilities that can be used for a wide range of applications in both traditional and non-traditional environments; providing leadership in the advancement of technological modernisation of complex enterprises within Government.

Part Business Analyst, part Customer Advocate, part Change Partner, the BRM ensures that GEO SPACES capability, services and sustainment outcomes are fully aligned to customer priorities, user needs and organisational readiness.

This role sits as part of the core GEOSPACES leadership team, driving program maturity, organisational change management (OCM), strategic engagement and continuous improvement to enable successful transformation across AGO and Defence.

The BRM is expected to spend meaningful time embedded with the customer environment, building trusted relationships, shaping demand, anticipating needs, and ensuring a positive, holistic end‑to‑end customer experience.

• Provide strategic advice on contract delivery, service expectations, and business priorities to senior stakeholders, including executives and service leaders.

• Support contract governance, including interpretation, variations, reporting, and governance committee secretariat functions.

• Monitor service performance, manage escalations, and ensure issues are addressed through established governance and relationship frameworks.

• Partner with Service Delivery Managers to align services with business needs and drive continuous improvement initiatives.

• Build strong strategic partnerships with business leaders by understanding objectives, monitoring customer satisfaction, and informing future service and business strategies.

About You
