• Helping identify requirements, policy developments and engineering publication reviews relevant to the programme.
• Working with the security, policy and operations branches across the organisation so the programme stays aligned with alliance practice.
• Reviewing and updating security policy, documentation and classification guides, and authoring the relevant sections of capability programme plans.
• Supporting the management of classified material.
• Developing and delivering presentations and training on security procedures.
• Keeping every work strand linked to the rest of the office and to the other capability teams.

What you would bring

• A bachelor degree or higher.

• Experience of technical communications or physical infrastructure projects for sensitive compartmented information facilities, delivered in secure environments.
• At least three of the last ten years in stakeholder management and coordination, aligning different organisations behind a common strategic goal.
• Willingness to travel well beyond the usual — this post is on the road a great deal.
