1. BACKGROUND

The European Defence Agency (EDA) was established on 12 July 2004, and is governed by Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/1835 defining the statute, seat and operational rules of the European Defence Agency. The Agency has its headquarters in Brussels.

The main task of EDA is to support the Council and the Member States in their effort to improve the Union's defence capabilities in the field of crisis management and to sustain the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) as it currently stands and as it develops in the future.

The Agency is structured into four directorates. The Corporate Services Directorate (CSD) and three operational directorates: Industry, Synergies and Enablers (ISE); Capability, Armament & Planning (CAP); Research, Technology and Innovation (RTI).

2. THE AGENCY'S WAY OF WORKING

The Agency is an “outward-facing” organisation, constantly interacting with its shareholders, the participating Member States, as well as with a wide range of stakeholders. It works in an integrated way, with multi-disciplinary teams representing all of the Agency’s functional areas, to realise its objectives. Its business processes are flexible and oriented towards achieving results. Staff at all levels need to demonstrate the corresponding qualities of commitment, flexibility, innovation, and team-working; to work effectively with shareholders and stakeholder groups, formal and informal; and to operate without the need for detailed direction.

3. THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S POLICY OFFICE

The Chief Executive’s Policy Office works in direct support of the Agency’s top management (Chief Executive & Deputy Chief Executive). It is responsible for strategic policy development, planning and coordination of EDA’s activities. The Office is the Agency’s prime interface at policy level towards Member States and is responsible for relations with EU institutions and bodies, as well as third parties. It acts as the Secretariat of the Steering Board and of the Agency Management Board.

4. DUTIES

Under the supervision of the Head of the Chief Executive’s Policy Office, the jobholder will be responsible for the following activities:

- contribute to the planning, preparation, and revision of EDA's annual and multi-annual strategies, plans and policies, in close cooperation with EDA’s operational Directorates;
- support the internal policy coordination and organisational coherence of cross-directorate work strands and processes inside the Agency;
- provide support to top management, including briefings, speaking notes, speeches and reports of visits and/or meetings;
- support and monitor the preparation and functioning of the Agency's Steering Board meetings;
- contribute to position papers, both for internal use and for wider circulation to Member States and EU institutions, in close coordination with EDA’s operational Directorates;
- liaise and coordinate work with the European Commission, other EU institutions, bodies, and stakeholders;
- engage with Member States and third parties at defence policy and expert level;
- take on additional tasks as required in the interest of the service.

Duties may evolve according to development of the EDA’s structure and activities, and the decisions of EDA management.

5. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
- be a national of a Member State participating in the Agency;
- be entitled to their full rights as citizens;
- have fulfilled any obligations imposed on them by the laws concerning military service;
