Job summary:

Global Issues is a diverse, important, and challenging area of international policy in the Security Policy & Operations organisation (SecPolOps).

It leads on providing advice on a range of issues, including arms control, counter-proliferation; ballistic missile defence, unmanned systems and MOD's response to chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats.

Global Issues also manages the MOD's role in the export licensing and the F680 processes through its team in the Export Control Joint Unit (ECJU).

We are an outward facing team which actively engages with wider Government and Industry to balance the UK Government's expectations with regards to the prosperity agenda, with its priority objective of maintaining national security.

To achieve this balance, we aim to be flexible and responsive and respond to change in a positive manner.
