Before 2006, Beauchamp held a number of positions in the ACT Public Service, including Deputy Chief Executive, Department of Disability, Housing and Community Services and Deputy CEO, Department of Health.

Beauchamp rejoined the Australian Public Service in 2002, in the Department of Family and Community Services.{{citation|author=Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs|publisher=Australian Government|chapter-url=http://resources.fahcsia.gov.au/annualreport/2008/03.htm|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150325082906/http://resources.fahcsia.gov.au/annualreport/2008/03.htm|archivedate=25 March 2015|date=2008|chapter=Chapter 3: The portfolio|title=Annual Report 2007–08}}

In January 2006, Beauchamp was appointed a Deputy Secretary in the Department of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs.

Between February and August 2009, Beauchamp was responsible for coordinating a whole of government response to the Victorian bushfires, chairing the Commonwealth Victorian Bushfire Inter-Departmental Committee.{{citation|url=https://www.gg.gov.au/sites/default/files/files/honours/qb/qb2010/Media%20Notes%20PSM%20(final).pdf|title=PUBLIC SERVICE MEDAL (PSM)|page=1|publisher=Australian Government|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140323134924/http://www.gg.gov.au/sites/default/files/files/honours/qb/qb2010/Media%20Notes%20PSM%20%28final%29.pdf|archivedate=23 March 2014}}

In December 2010, then Prime Minister Julia Gillard appointed Beauchamp to the position of Secretary of the Department of Regional Australia, Regional Development and Local Government, after Beauchamp had been acting in the position since the Department was established in September 2010.{{cite press release|url=http://pmtranscripts.dpmc.gov.au/browse.php?did=17548|publisher=Australian Government|date=21 December 2010|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150219112454/http://pmtranscripts.dpmc.gov.au/browse.php?did=17548|archivedate=19 February 2015|first=Julia|last=Gillard|author-link=Julia Gillard|title=Departmental Secretaries}} In February 2011, the Australian Government nominated Beauchamp to the board of the Queensland Reconstruction Authority.{{cite press release|url=http://pmtranscripts.dpmc.gov.au/browse.php?did=17656|title=Australian Government Reconstruction Inspectorate|date=7 February 2011|publisher=Australian Government|first=Julia|last=Gillard|author-link=Julia Gillard|access-date=25 March 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402103508/http://pmtranscripts.dpmc.gov.au/browse.php?did=17656|archive-date=2 April 2015|url-status=dead}}

In February 2020 before retiring, Beauchamp destroyed her notebooks that contained meeting notes relating to the Sports rorts affair (2020).{{citation|url=https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/feb/28/senior-public-servant-tells-inquiry-she-destroyed-sports-grants-meeting-notes|work=The Guardian|title=Senior public servant tells inquiry she destroyed sports grants meeting notes|first=Amy|last=Remeikis|date=28 February 2020 }} This action was performed prior to a senate inquiry hearing where she would have been required to provide evidence of the scandal, leaving many Australians baffled.

Beauchamp was awarded a Public Service Medal in June 2010 for outstanding public service in coordinating the Australian Government's response to the 2009 Victorian bushfires.{{citation|url=https://honours.pmc.gov.au/honours/awards/1143096|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20230126030601/https://honours.pmc.gov.au/honours/awards/1143096|archivedate=26 January 2023|title=Search Australian Honours: BEAUCHAMP, Glenys Ann, Public Service Medal|publisher=Australian Government|work=itsanhonour.gov.au}} She was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia in the 2023 Australia Day Honours.{{Cite web |date=2023-01-25 |title=Australia Day 2023 Honours: Full list |url=https://www.smh.com.au/national/australia-day-2023-honours-full-list-20230124-p5cf79.html |access-date=2023-01-25 |website=The Sydney Morning Herald |language=en |archive-date=25 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230125114335/https://www.smh.com.au/national/australia-day-2023-honours-full-list-20230124-p5cf79.html |url-status=live }}
