**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.

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.

Within DNO, the Warhead Group leads the UK nuclear warhead programme which provides a stockpile of reliable, safe, and effective nuclear warheads to support the UK’s strategic nuclear deterrent now and in the future. The Nuclear Threat Reduction (NTR) is a key part of the Group, leading and helping deliver the UK’s national NTR objectives.

This post can be based in MOD Main Building in London or at AWE Aldermaston (within the MOD office) but the post holder will be expected to split their time across both locations and with occasional travel to the DNO office at Abbey Wood, Bristol. Travel to other sites in the UK should be expected. There will be a need for regular international travel, primarily to the US but European travel in support of collaborative programmes is a feature of this role.

This position is advertised at 37 hours per week.

**Job description**:
The post holder is expected to work with UK and international partner organisations to shape and deliver the DNO’s scientific and technological input to, amongst other things, deliver the UK Government’s nuclear counter-terrorism effort and meeting its international nuclear security obligations.

Drawing on experience and nuclear expertise, the post holder will be expected to bring innovation to the successful delivery of the outcomes of a diverse portfolio of activity to generate the people, knowledge and capabilities required to meet MOD and UK nuclear security commitments.

This includes leading a variety of technical projects from Science and Technology through capability development to operational including on nuclear counter-terrorism and counter-proliferation, nuclear forensics, Arms Control and Verification Research, and support to UK commitments under the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) as well as specialist areas of technical nuclear security.

The post holder is expected to work across a broad range of stakeholders both within the Ministry of Defence (including Security Policy & Operations, UK StratCom, DSTL and Defence Intelligence), across Whitehall (including Cabinet Office, Home Office, Department of Energy Security and Net Zero and FCDO) and internationally (U.S., France, CTBTO and UK Mission Vienna).

**Responsibilities**:

- Develop and maintain the Nuclear Threat Reduction (NTR) requirements and capability plan.
- Act as the NTR Programme Manager ensuring projects that make up the NTR portfolio are governed effectively ensuring delivery is on track across all stakeholders.
- Build and maintain effective working relationships across Whitehall leveraging the NTR programme and skills to support the Cabinet Office nuclear security priorities.
- Provide strong and visible leadership in the international community - bilaterally in working groups and joint programmes with both the US and France and other international partners where required. Provide relevant support to the UK’s Comprehensive Ban Treaty National Technical Authority and the UK Mission in Vienna.
- Act as the NTR technical adviser and intelligent customer to DNO and bui
