Opportunities for Team Leaders

Team Leaders
Policy and Capability Studies
£38,000 - £48,000

Here is your chance to think on the very biggest scale, while tackling issues that have profound implications for our armed forces and the wider world in which they operate.

Dstl's Policy and Capability Studies department carries out high-level analysis that supports the decision-making process of the MOD and the UK government. Our people are engaged in a range of fascinating projects, from giving real-time support to operations on the ground across the world, to analysing the defence capabilities the UK will need to meet the strategic challenges of the future.

While your priority will be to lead and develop your staff, you will take charge of delivering a portfolio of studies, making a key contribution to projects. To succeed, you will need a strong blend of technical knowledge and leadership skills. It's also crucial that you are an excellent problem solver with plenty of initiative, a proactive approach and a background in a relevant technical area.
