The Shooting Industry Foundation Australia (SIFA) has a job vacancy for a senior policy and research advisor, a role at the heart of the local’s industry’s political and regulatory responses.
The job ad states: “We are looking for someone to join our team who is able to work autonomously and independently, with the ability to manage their own time, whilst providing research and policy advice on all projects and other engagements that SIFA is engaged in.”
The full-time job is central to helping SIFA in its tasks in advocacy, research, education and the promotion of safety, as well as its role in informing the public, regulators and politicians about the role the shooting industry plays in Australia.
The advisor will be expected to have or develop an understanding “of all relevant legislation, regulation and policy that affects the Australian shooting industry” and its commercial interests, and be able to dig into these matters to find areas of concern.
Preparing “reasoned and articulate” responses is also expected.
It involves reporting directly to SIFA’s CEO, as well as providing advice to him and the board.
The advisor will be dealing with politicians, bureaucrats, law enforcement agencies and others.
The role will involve local, interstate and overseas travel.
SIFA states it would prefer a Canberra-based person but has left the door open for flexible or remote working arrangements, which would likely come down to one of the key criteria: the ability to work autonomously and manage work time.
