This opportunity will enable you to build relationships with end-users and partners across UK Strategic Command and wider MOD to source and solve innovation problems and opportunities. You will be able unpick specific challenges that users face, and devise, plan and deliver projects to assess if new technologies and processes can provide the solutions. If projects are successful you will work collaboratively to develop the path to sustainable capabilities, if unsuccessful you will translate this into meaningful insights for Defence.
You will be responsible for project delivery and governance and will need to be comfortable liaising with experts across a range of fields including finance, commercial, cyber security, specific technology areas and more.
A Project Manager will typically lead 3 to 4 projects simultaneously and will actively manage budgets, resources for their projects.
The jHub project portfolio is widespread and includes medical innovation, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities, support to operations, force protection techniques and other areas in line with UK Strategic Command’s core objectives. The successful candidate will run projects in any of these areas and will be comfortable gaining an understanding of new areas. You will often work with significant autonomy and be expected to identify problems and match these up with the best possible solutions industry or academia has to offer, at pace, whilst ensuring creative options are considered.
Whilst we do not mandate any specific prior technical or military knowledge, and would welcome applications from outside of Defence, a high degree of maturity, adaptability and resilience is critical for the role.
Significant UK and international travel is required. There may be scope to line manage small teams depending on the scale of the project.
Remote working within this role is something that can be discussed at interview stages or with your future line manager if you are found successful.
