Job description

Relocation to the United States — Norfolk, Virginia. We provide the NATO-5 visa for you and your family.
This post is a full employment contract with our delivery partner, with the benefits that go with it — not a contractor or B2B arrangement. Agreeing to be employed is the first condition of the role.
A multinational defence organisation needs sustained analytical capacity on emerging and disruptive technologies. This role provides it — cataloguing, assessing and advising, inside the innovation branch.

• Assessing their implications and adoption opportunities on a continuing basis.
• Promoting experimentation with technology-based solutions in realistic environments.
• Feeding the science and technology programme of work and the foresight and defence planning strands it supports.
• Identifying capability shortfalls that adoption would close, from the planning products and the operational lessons.
• Educating staff on the opportunities and the risks.
• Running the knowledge base that shows the current state of adoption.
• Working as part of the innovation branch under multi-domain force development.

This is a long engagement that renews year on year, not a short project.
