This is a key specialism that guides and interacts with a range of teams and domains across DE&S to deliver supply chain systems, modelling, data and metric analysis.

This 30+ strong rapidly growing team supports all the operational platforms the Armed Forces use, structuring and interpreting data via a range of complex methodologies to create useful outcomes and recommendations that have a real impact upon our Armed Forces and their ability to do their jobs safely and effectively.

The team's recommendations will be a key component in shaping DE&S purchasing and supply chain plans.

To succeed and really make a difference in this role; critical thinking, problem solving skills and the ability to analyse and interpret data are key.

The team handles a wide range of requests and often needs to respond or revise a model at short notice to meet operational needs.

Given this, adaptability and the ability to make educated and reasonable assumptions on sometimes incomplete data is crucial.

You will be supported closely by the Senior Team Leaders where needed, as well given the confidence and capability to excel via our extensive and M&A-specific training programme, which is linked to a professional body (the Operational Research Society - ORS).

This will give you the right technical skills to succeed and have a positive impact upon the UK Armed Forces and their supply chain.

The team is very diverse in every regard; skills, experience, background, personalities and ideas. They are genuinely accommodating and mindful of a work-life balance, with the opportunity to work remotely (e.g. from home) semi-regularly (typically weekly) once you are established and able to operate independently in the role.

While no specific modelling or military / civil experience is required (we will provide significant training), data modelling skills using VBA/SQL, MS Power BI or other 'Commercially Off The Shelf' (COTS) modelling software would be considered favourably. Familiarity with SCOR, models, black-box and white box verification techniques would also be viewed positively.
