We work with governments, businesses, and investors to solve the world's most pressing challenges. With a team of more than 3,000 employees operating in 90-plus countries and a global network of over 35,000 experts, we help improve economies, societies, and, most importantly, people's lives.
Palladium is the Managing Contractor for the Vanuatu Australia Policing and Justice Program (VAPJP), which is a long-standing and integral part of Australia’s support to Vanuatu, delivering policing and justice sector support. The Program is supporting the Government of Vanuatu (GoV) to respond to challenges to the maintenance of security and the rule of law; and building longer-term capability to provide the justice, community and policing services needed by communities.
The Position
The Team Leader is responsible for managing and implementing the technical aspects of Vanuatu Australia Policing and Justice Program (VAPJP), in close coordination with Palladium and the Australian High Commission (AHC) in Vanuatu. The Team Leader plays a key role in steering the program’s overall strategy, building a strong and cohesive team that generates recommendations to translate agreed support into results, brokering partnerships with and between stakeholders, in particular DFAT, Australian Federal Police (AFP), Government of Vanuatu (GoV), and its broader Vanuatu portfolio. This role requires a deep commitment to ensuring principles of gender quality, disability and social inclusion are integrated into all aspects of the Program. The Team Leader will support the team, colleagues and partners in promoting a culture of respect and a common purpose, in a manner that aligns strongly with shared values which underpin the relationship between Vanuatu and Australia.
