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

About the role

A multinational defence organisation is modernising one of its most complex command and control capabilities — the biggest programme in its common‑funded portfolio, with more than fifty project proposals due inside eighteen months. This role collects and manages the capability and technical requirements behind it, with a particular eye on security.

Responsibilities

• Review and update the requirements management and benefits realisation plans as the capability develops.
• Keep the security policy, documentation and classification guidance current.
• Engage stakeholders and users at political, operational and tactical level to identify requirements and policy developments.
• Work with the requirements and quality assurance branches so the programme stays aligned with organisational best practice.
• Own the benefits realisation strand as management products are produced and projects land.
• Develop measurable capability acceptance criteria with agencies, stakeholders and end users.
• Track technical requirements with agencies and host nations, keeping validity and traceability intact.
• Author the relevant sections of the capability programme plans.
• Manage every output in the requirements management system.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or higher.
• At least three of the last ten years in requirements engineering, covering both management and elicitation.
• Capability development experience, ideally under a common‑funded governance model.
• Capability development on communications or infrastructure programmes in classified environments.
• Hands‑on experience with a formal requirements management tool such as IBM Rational DOORS.
• Fluent professional English.
• Long‑term engagement that renews year on year, not a short project.
