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 is modernising one of its most complex command and control capabilities — the biggest programme in its common-funded portfolio, with more than fifty project proposals due inside eighteen months. This role collects and manages the capability and technical requirements behind it, with a particular eye on security.

What you would be doing

• Reviewing and updating the requirements management and benefits realisation plans as the capability develops.
• Keeping the security policy, documentation and classification guidance current.
• Engaging stakeholders and users at political, operational and tactical level to identify requirements and policy developments.
• Working with the requirements and quality assurance branches so the programme stays aligned with organisational best practice.
• Owning the benefits realisation strand as management products are produced and projects land.
• Developing measurable capability acceptance criteria with agencies, stakeholders and end users.
• Tracking technical requirements with agencies and host nations, keeping validity and traceability intact.
• Authoring the relevant sections of the capability programme plans.
• Managing every output in the requirements management system.

What you would bring

• A bachelor degree or higher.
• At least three of the last ten years in requirements engineering, covering both management and elicitation.
• Capability development experience, ideally under a common-funded governance model.
• Capability development on communications or infrastructure programmes in classified environments.
• Hands-on experience with a formal requirements management tool such as IBM Rational DOORS.
• Fluent professional English.

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