Summary
The Ministry of Defence employs over 50,000 Civil Servants. Within that, the Army Top Level Budget (TLB) employs around 7,000 MOD Civil Servants located at over 300 locations. Ours is a diverse workforce including many different functions and professions delivering key outputs for the Army. As such, project management and acquisition skills are vital.

It sits in the Future Force Development branch, in the Research and Experimentation (R&E) team which is responsible for filling the knowledge gaps to inform capability development choices, nested in Army and Defence priorities, testing hypotheses and validating solutions.
The role is specifically responsible for Special Projects (those which sit at a higher security classification) across a broad sweep of subject areas which may include robotic and autonomous systems (RAS), battlefield power and electrification and artificial intelligence (AI) projects amongst others.
