- working with relevant customers, providing analysis and advice to inform debate and influence decision making.
- working with wider MOD to brief senior leaders and Ministers and respond to external requests for information (including Freedom of Information Requests and Parliamentary Questions).
- supporting Senior Team Leaders in the development of analysis as prioritised by customers.
- supporting your team with the production of outputs and their professional development.

What you'll get from the roles:

Interesting and challenging work with outcomes that directly impact the day-to-day lives of serving personnel and their families.
The opportunity to deliver highprofile, highquality analysis, with the freedom to innovate and select various analytical techniques.
A chance to engage closely with military and civilian customers across Government and beyond, including charities.
