Job summary:
This is an exciting time to join the Ministry of Defence and to be at the heart of real Defence issues.
Accelerating technological change is reshaping our world, offering great opportunities while enabling more sophisticated and complex threats than ever before.
At the same time, Russia's Illegal invasion of the Ukraine highlights the increasingly unpredictable and volatile nature of the global security environment.
The very nature of deterrence and conflict are changing, driven by advances in artificial intelligence and robotics, novel weapons (e.g., directed energy and hypersonics) and breakthroughs in fields like quantum and engineering biology.
The UK's Armed Forces must rapidly adapt and modernise to retain our military edge.
The Defence Science and Technology (DST) area of the Ministry of Defence Head Office leads all aspects of policy making in Science & Technology (S&T), either by identifying gaps in Defence's ability to exploit new technologies or opportunities to improve the functioning of the Defence S&T ecosystem, or by leading workstreams to implement full ranging policy changes, and supporting other teams who wish to use S&T.
We are embedding S&T across Defence by working across strategic priorities and aims, bringing together a wide variety of collaborators and directing delivery through our colleagues in commissioning and Dstl.

Management of and delivery of actions on behalf of DST Senior Leadership, including reporting and escalation of risks to our priorities and programmes.
These are challenging and rewarding roles that sit within the S&T Strategic Advantage and Emerging Technology Policy team, which is responsible for delivering policy interventions to prepare Defence to use game-changing technologies in future military capabilities and shaping national S&T initiatives to reflect Defence's priorities.
The job holders will need to think deeply about how to achieve influence and empower others, build networks to define, prioritise and deliver a far-reaching programme of work at pace, and communicate effectively with a broad range of collaborators.
The core responsibilities are:
Designing and delivering policies and strategies to ensure that critical Emerging and Disruptive Technologies are understood, developed and protected; enabling Defence to make full use of them in the future, encouraging close collaboration with industry and academia and supporting engagement with international partners.
Developing resilient and productive networks with the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, Cabinet Office, Home Office and other key Departments, building trust and the space for constructive challenge where needed.
Working with DST Commissioning to ensure S&T programmes provide the evidence we need to develop and deliver compelling policy propositions, drawing in specialist expertise from Dstl and Defence Intelligence alongside.
