Careers

Bring your experience. We will trust it.

Qontum is a small team of former Defence and public service leaders. We hire senior, cleared Australians who want to do the work themselves — not manage someone else doing it.

How we hire

Four rules that shape who joins.

Senior experience

We hire experienced operators — former ADF officers, public servants, industry professionals and capability specialists. No graduate pipeline.

Cleared and sovereign

Australian citizens with current or recent NV1/NV2 clearances. New clearance sponsorship supported in limited cases.

Outcomes over hours

We measure consultants against the client's mission. Utilisation targets do not drive our work.

Small by intent

We grow only when the right person walks in. We will not dilute the bench to win revenue.
