Relocation to the United States — Norfolk, Virginia. We provide the NATO-5 visa.

A multinational defence organisation runs a large exercise programme, and wants it aligned with where warfare development is going. This role does the joining up: the planning conferences, the campaign documents, and the after-action work that follows.

What you would be doing

  • Carrying warfare development priorities and multi-domain objectives into the exercise enterprise.
  • Supporting governance, synchronisation and strategic alignment across that enterprise.
  • Taking part in planning conferences, workshops and coordination events.
  • Developing, refining and documenting exercise campaign plans and concepts.
  • Using exercises to identify capability gaps, refine concepts and assess emerging capabilities.
  • Integrating the training innovation lines of effort — realism, new technology, harder scenarios.
  • Supporting after-action review and lessons-learned processes, and drafting the formal reports and recommendations.
  • Contributing to the rolling programmes of work.
  • Coordinating with the other commands, partners and external stakeholders.

What you would bring

  • A bachelor or master degree in international relations, defence or strategic studies, political science, emergency management or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • At least five years in military exercise planning, collective training or defence transformation.
  • Familiarity with alliance exercise planning processes and their governing documents.
  • Proven ability to draft professional planning documents, reports and campaign plans.
  • Strong organisational and project management skills.
  • Experience coordinating with multinational or interagency partners.
  • Fluent professional English, spoken and written.

This is a long engagement that renews year on year, not a short project.
