- At least two examples in the last ten years, three years combined, of military operations research or operational analysis.
- Experience designing and facilitating structured stakeholder sessions to draw out objectives, assumptions, measures and risks.
- Recent experience scoping problems for study and developing the analysis approach.
- Experience building data collection and analysis plans with measures of effectiveness and performance.
- Experience assessing and communicating uncertainty and risk on capability and acquisition decisions.
- Experience producing or working with cost and schedule estimates and their methodologies.
- Experience in a strategic or operational military command, or a multinational organisation.
- Fluent professional English.
Responsibilities
- 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.
