**Job summary**:
In an ever more challenging international strategic environment, the UK and its allies need the best educated and trained strategists to tackle those challenges and better achieve national interests of security, stability and prosperity. This in turn requires world-leading approaches to the design and delivery of the Royal College of Defence Studies' Global Strategy Programme (GSP) to ensure that policymakers and practitioners have the best possible opportunities to study, learn and practice the art and science of strategy-making.

The Royal College of Defence Studies (RCDS) is the most senior college within the UK Defence Academy and trains and educates circa 100 high-calibre senior military officers, diplomats and civilian officials (mainly at OF5-7 and Grade 7 to SMS 1 level) in the art and science of strategy making and leadership. Students on the 11 month course -known as Members
- are drawn from 50+ countries (only about 30% of the Members are from the UK) each year to study international affairs, security and strategy at postgraduate level over an academic year. The course concentrates on the wide range of factors that relate to stability, security and prosperity nationally, regionally and globally and is set at the grand (national) strategic level, the level at which governments and other strategic actors balance their instruments of power and influence to sustain, promote and compete for their national interests.

The GSP course design and delivery team is a small, close-knit team (c.10 people) working across the college’s output areas, led by the Head of the Global Strategy Programme. We are responsible for a fascinating and exciting programme and work closely across Whitehall, externally and internationally to deliver world-leading strategy education. If you are a people-centric, intellectually curious, highly organised and collaborative person, then this role is for you.

This position is advertised at 36/37 hours per week TACOS Dependant.

**Job description**:
Each Course Design and Delivery Lead has a variable and interchangeable portfolio which covers the detailed design, delivery and programming of all elements of the GSP across the entire academic year. The portfolio includes direct responsibility for designing major course components including seminars, lectures, strategy case studies, strategic leadership talks, study visits both in the UK and overseas, and strategy exercises (week-long dynamic role-play political simulation events).

You will undertake independent research, analysis and engagement across Whitehall and academia to identify new intellectual approaches, build new partnerships and drive innovation in the design of course components. You will lead on the detailed drafting of lecture specifications and the identification and arrangement of suitable external expert speakers from the world’s best universities, think tanks, journalism, NGOs, international organisations, governments and the private sector. You will oversee those course elements you design and be responsible for administration and logistics for the day-to-day running of the course, and you will assess feedback from Members (students) and staff to inform future planning.

Working closely with external organisations such as NGOs, private sector companies, military units, local government, embassies and high commissions, you will have a leading role in the planning, project management, governance, practical organisation and delivery of educational study tours that include:

- Brussels (EU and NATO).
- Geneva (UN).
- UK industry and technology centres.
- Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the English regions.
- A three-week overseas study tour (OST) to 2-3 different countries in specific regions (e.g. Middle East or West Africa or Northern Europe or East Asia).

In executing an OST, you will undertake three weeks of detached duty each May/June, working very long days which could be in a challenging or austere environment. These are one of the most rewarding aspects of the GSP.

**Main Responsibilities**
- Under the guidance of the Head
- GSP, lead on the delivery of a term or learning module of the GSP. Draft the relevant documentation for Course Committee approval, plan the structure of the modules, and produce the programme, being cognisant of emerging trends and iss
