Category: Recruitment
Publish date: 04/05/2021
Where
Based in the MOD Main Building, Whitehall; Capability Assurance is a mixed military and civilian team, with several of the latter being ex-military.
What
Half the team, covering each of the Commands, represents the views of capability owners by providing technical, and military advice, on industry export licence applications for military equipment. Acting to ensure that sensitive capabilities and technologies are not exported, when this might be to the detriment of our own forces. At the same time, responsible exports contribute to UK prosperity, and we actively support this by working with industry and Commands to mitigate the issues that might prevent export.
Who
The Land post is vacant and we are looking for a veteran who wants to continue protecting the warfighter while contributing to UK prosperity.
Do you have knowledge of the Land domain, a range of experience working in or with Military Commands, a sound understanding of Land capabilities and technologies, or evidence of related transferrable knowledge and skills?
If so, you might be the person we need. This knowledge, coupled with good interpersonal skills to build and maintain effective relationships across a broad range of stakeholders, particularly Army HQ, will enable you to protect colleagues on operations by ensuring that only responsible exports of military goods are allowed. You’ll be expected to spend time in London and Army HQ, as well as other Defence and industry establishments, although there will also be many opportunities to work from home.
Why
This is a very worthwhile and rewarding job with plenty of variation, as well as opportunities to work with people across Defence and industry. Service leavers are well suited to the role because of their accumulated knowledge, skills and experience; you’ll be made to feel at home in the Capability Assurance team. Additional benefits include inner London allowance, 30 days’ annual leave, as well as opportunities for personal development and to advance your second career.
