**Job summary**:
Do you want to be at the heart of real Defence issues and play a key role in the United Kingdom’s (UK) national security?

Established in April 2016, the Defence Nuclear Organisation (DNO) delivers nuclear capability to deter threats and protect our nation.

The DNO oversees all defence nuclear business (excluding operations) and is responsible for providing nuclear deterrence; sponsoring the Defence Nuclear Enterprise (all the organisations, programmes and people that sustain the UK’s nuclear deterrent); and advising on UK nuclear policy, planning and international co-operation on nuclear matters.

The UK’s independent nuclear deterrent has existed for over 60 years to deter the most extreme threats to our national security and way of life, and that of our NATO Allies. To ensure that we have a credible and capable nuclear deterrent for as long as the security situation requires, we are building four new nuclear armed submarines - known as the Dreadnought Class - and replacing our nuclear warheads. These renewal programmes will utilise world-leading technology and are a showcase in science and engineering, highlighting the prowess of British industry.

Here at DNO we strongly believe that diversity and inclusion is not only the right thing to do but is also essential for a thriving and successful organisation. We know that diverse teams bring a wide range of perspectives, experiences and ideas, which lead to better decision-making, creativity and innovation. We have a culture where differences are celebrated and our people feel supported, included and empowered. Join us and be part of an organisation that truly values diversity and inclusion and makes a positive impact on the world.

This post is advertised at 37 hours per week.

**Job description**:
The DNO Commercial Team has staff based in London, Bristol and Reading. These posts will be based in either MOD Abbey Wood (Bristol), AWE Aldermaston (Reading) or MOD Main Building (London) and will require occasional travel between the sites.

DNO Commercial is a dynamic and dedicated team working at the heart of maintaining the Continuous At Sea Deterrent (CASD) which deals with complex market forces and monitors the supply chain fragility of the Defence Nuclear Enterprise (DNE).

We conduct every part of the commercial lifecycle from identifying complex requirements to procuring sensitive material to running billion-pound contracts and Category A programmes - the work we undertake is at a highly classified level.

Whilst assessing the supply chain, we look to intervene in the market to protect CASD whether that be nationalising businesses (Atomic Weapons Establishment), acquiring businesses (Sheffield Forgemasters) or ringfencing sensitive capabilities (Ultra Electronics).

Throughout our work we manage a wide range of stakeholders with partners across the Defence Nuclear Enterprise ranging from the Submarine Delivery Agency to the Royal Navy, Babcock, BAE, Atomic Weapons Establishment and Sheffield Forgemasters.

We operate with an annual budget of £6.9BN, working at the heart of government and protecting the UK’s most sensitive national security capabilities.

As a commercial officer within DNO Commercial, responsibilities may include sourcing and handling the delivery of a range of contracts and providing commercial support and assurance of AWE, Sheffield Forgemasters Ltd and the wider supply chain across the Defence Nuclear Enterprise.

**Person specification**:
**Responsibilities may include**
- Undertake commercial activities across the procurement lifecycle from pre-market engagement, developing and implementing sourcing strategies, contract management and closure.
- Execution and post award management of contracts through high quality contract management, ensuring key contract artefacts are in place, leading supplier performance and contract change effectively, to ensure ongoing value and service quality standards are delivered.
- Collaborative working with project colleagues to achieve customer requirements
- Deliver effective customer engagement and management withi
