**The Opportunity**:
The Future Combat Air System (FCAS) is one of the largest, most exciting and ambitious programmes within Defence - to design and deliver a Future Combat Air Programme for the RAF in record time. The key cornerstone of FCAS is the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), which sees the UK working with our international partners Italy and Japan, to deliver a future combat air platform. FCAS and GCAP presents an outstanding opportunity to influence the design of the system to consider the integration and employment of effects rather than just integrate effectors to an existing platform.

The FCAS portfolio consists of multiple different projects and contracts looking at different areas within Combat Air. MBDA UK is involved in a number of these projects including the TEMPEST project, where some novel technologies are being explored, the main UK FCAS Acquisition Programme, as well as the GCAP.

As Head of International - FCAS (GCAP), you'll be responsible for all MBDA International delivery in the Future Combat Air Programme, including GCAP, the UK's Acquisition Programme and TEMPEST, within the Future Systems Directorate.

This is a senior, influential role regarding the development of key international industrial partnerships within FCAS and GCAP. The mission includes the development and sustainment of MBDA's international involvement within the programme (UK / Italy / Japan) including influencing workshare (through delivery performance).

You will have a key part in supporting the unexplored business model of GCAP (EMS, networked sensors, GCAP system design, platform integration) with Italian and Japanese industrial partners.

**What we're looking for from you**:

- A dynamic professional with experience of delivering within a sophisticated engineering environment.
- Strong background in team leadership.
- Good understanding of MBDA missile/weapon products, underlying technology and next generation opportunities.
- Background in working within an International environment e.g. Int'l or multi-national projects, in-Country delivery of a project activity.
- Proven experience working collaboratively with partner companies in a fast paced programme environment.
- Experience of management of communications and influencing across a map of national and Int'l partners.
- Ability and willingness to spend amounts of time in-country (25%-50% international travel) and work with limited immediate senior support.
- Strong partner leadership skills with the ability to influence and communicate effectively across Industry/Gov't as well as across cultures.
- Experience of working on Future Systems programmes, defining and delivering on complex strategies.
- Competence to develop effective networks across the key partners of MoD and MBDA in both UK & Europe.
- Proven track record working with the engineering community to develop and deliver.
- Clear project management skills, reporting metrics and process across the directorate to support on time and on cost delivery
- Resilience to progress in an uncertain environment with pragmatism and passion.
- Maintain national and international industry and academic links in assigned technology area, keeping aware of potential developments and developing proposals for their insertion.
- Develop and implement plans to ensure MBDA is proficient and has the requisite capability, technology, processes and tools in specialist technical areas, in line with the latest developments and company policy.
- Ensure compliance with statutory, regulatory and corporate requirements and keep abreast of changes which may impact the business.

**What to expect**:
You will be joining a dynamic, focussed and growing team at the forefront of one of the most critical platforms in the future UK Armed forces. The team is highly motivated and committed to deliver, achieving great success in the last year in this new exciting collaborative environment. This team has a high level of visibly within the UK senior population due to the strategically important nature of this programme.

We recognise that everyone is unique, and we encourage you to speak to us should you require any advice, support or adjustments throughout our recruitment process. We also welcome applicants who are looking for flexible working arrangements.
