Who you are

• A high-potential graduate or early-career professional with an exceptional academic record and strong internships or international experience.
• Curious about defence, security policy, and military affairs, with early exposure through study, research, or work.
• Analytically sharp, able to structure problems, synthesise information, and communicate clearly.
• Energised by pace, responsibility, and ambiguity, not looking for a slow or protected entry role.
• A natural self-starter and hustler, who takes ownership rather than waiting for direction.
• Drawn to high-performance environments such as consulting, finance, or fast-scaling startups.
• Motivated by being part of a small, elite team where your contribution is visible and matters early.
