Relocation to the United States — Norfolk, Virginia. We provide the NATO-5 visa for you and your family.

This post is a full employment contract with our delivery partner, with the benefits that go with it — not a contractor or B2B arrangement. Agreeing to be employed is the first condition of the role.

A multinational defence organisation decides between capability options worth a great deal of money. This role runs the operational analysis behind those decisions: the assessments, the comparisons and the evidence package that goes with them.

What You Would Be Doing

• Course of action analysis using operations research methods in support of capability development.
• Planning and running research to establish qualitative and quantitative assessments of operational effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness analysis.
• Engaging research entities and industry to establish the impact of the alternatives.
• Supporting requests for information and surveys to nations, non-governmental organisations and industry.
• Analysing the impact of individual and aggregated risks and proposing how to manage them.
• Reviewing cost and schedule estimates produced by others for quality and supporting evidence.
• Documenting comparative assessments of cost, risk, schedule and effectiveness to inform programme decisions.
• Producing decision briefs that explain the rationale, and briefing decision-makers on them.
• Writing the analysis reports that form part of the capability programme evidence package.
• Travelling to meetings and conferences up to about sixty days a year.

What you would bring

• A bachelor degree in operations research, mathematics, computer science, physics, engineering or an equivalent quantitative subject — or five or more years leading operational analysis studies.
