Spektrum have a wide range of exciting opportunities in several global locations.

We are always looking to add great new talent to our team and look forward to hearing from you.

**Who we are supporting**

**Allied Command Transformation (ACT) **is NATO's leading agent for change: driving, facilitating, and advocating the continuous improvement of Alliance capabilities to maintain and enhance the military relevance and effectiveness of the Alliance. The main objectives of ACT are: providing appropriate support to NATO missions and operations; leading NATO military transformation; improving relationships, interaction and practical cooperation with partners, nations and international organisations. ACT therefore leads Alliance concept development, capability development, training and lessons learned initiatives and provides unfettered military support to policy development within NATO.

**The program**

**Capability Development & Management Support (CDMS)**

**DCOS Capability Development (CAPDEV) **acts as the Supreme Allied Commander Transformation's Director for guidance, direction and co-ordination of the activities and resources of the Capability Development Directorate. CAPDEV is responsible to:

- Identify and prioritize Alliance capability shortfalls from short to long term, along a continuum of holistic capability development.
- Lead the determination of required capabilities and prioritization of shortfalls to inform the delivery of materiel and non-materiel solutions across the Doctrine, Organisation, Training, Material, and Leadership, Personnel, Facilities and Interoperability (DOTMLPFI) lines of effort to enable a holistic approach to capability development, ensuring improved interoperability, deployability and sustainability of Alliance Forces.

**Role Background**

Nuclear Consultation, Command & Control (NC3) capability development is aimed at addressing current and future NC3 needs. ACT, in coordination with SHAPE, will lead the NC3 Modernization via the NATO Common Funded Capability Delivery Governance Model (CFCDGM). The next major steps in the process is the development of the Operational Requirements Statement (ORS) and Capability Program Plan (CPP). The NC3 capability development programme also includes managing the ongoing legacy NC2 modernisation projects. The legacy NC2 modernisation projects will provide robust, secure, agile and survivable C2 systems, services and C2-related static and deployable infrastructure for the NATO Command Structure, at strategic, operational and tactical level. The required contractual assistance will support the ongoing legacy NC2 modernisation projects.

The current NC2 Programme constitutes the first increment for modernization and innovation of NC2 capabilities, providing enhanced Information Services for planning, targeting and reporting, addressing selected DOTMLPFI aspects of high priority to advance effectiveness, responsiveness, survivability and sustainability of NATO's NC2 capabilities and to strengthen coherence between nuclear and non-nuclear exercises and operations in support of NATO's core missions. The programme will be reviewed and adapted in a dynamic fashion to address emerging operational requirements, articulated by the Capability Requirements Authority.

ACT will be responsible for tasks such as programme development across the DOTMLPFI spectrum in accordance with the defined requirements, programme and project management throughout the full capability life cycle in accordance with the NATO capability delivery processes and will support the elicitation of NC3 requirements to address emerging challenges in the dynamic operational environment for the NATO nuclear deterrence mission.

The scope of work for the development, implementation and management of the NC2 capability programme will include requirement elicitation in collaboration with stakeholders, the full spectrum of programme and project management as stipulated in the NATO governance model for delivery of common funded capabilities, support to architecture development, a holistic lifecycle management, capability acceptance and the management of ongoing capability development efforts, for instance NC2 related Capability Packages.

The outputs include the delivery of programme management products in accordance with the NATO governance model for the delivery of common funded capabilities, programme management plans, products to address information requirements at the senior and governance levels, plans to enhance NATO NC2 capabilities in an incremental approach, based on the results of elicited requirements and coordination with the broad array of NC2 stakeholders in the NATO Command Structure and at NATO HQ.

**Role Duties and Responsibilities**
- Provision of capacity and expertise in support of the development of Nuclear Command & Control (NC2) capability programme management products in accordance with the NATO governance model for the delivery of common funded capabilities
