Job description

Spektrum have a wide range of exciting opportunities in several global locations.

We are always looking to add great new talent to our team and look forward to hearing from you.

Spektrum supports apex purchasers (NATO, UN, EU, and National Government and Defence) and their Tier 1 supplier ecosystem with a wide range of specialist services. We provide our clients with professional services, specialised aerospace and defence sales, delivery, and operational subject matter expertise. We are looking for personnel to join our team and support key client projects.

Who we are supporting

The NATO Joint Warfare Centre (JWC) is a NATO establishment focused on improving the Alliance's operational capabilities through training and exercises. Located in Stavanger, Norway, the JWC plays a critical role in preparing NATO forces for future challenges by :

Training and Exercises

  • Conducting large-scale, joint operational-level training events, simulations, and exercises to enhance interoperability among NATO member nations.

Doctrine Development

  • Contributing to the development and refinement of NATO doctrines and concepts by providing feedback and insights from exercises and training activities.
  • Operational Support

  • Offering expert support to NATO operations, missions, and exercises, ensuring that lessons learned are integrated into future training and planning.
  • The JWC supports NATO's overall strategic objectives by ensuring that its forces are well-prepared and capable of responding to various global threats and challenges.

    The program

    To deliver each full exercise cycle the JWC relies heavily on an Exercise Control (EXCON) structure. EXCON staff members are drawn from several backgrounds and units including JWC staff, NATO component commands, Training Audience (TA) Headquarters, Partner Nations and other augmenters’ positions. EXCON has both direction and control functions which allow it to establish the conditions needed by the TA to achieve the exercise aim and objectives. EXCON size and structure is flexible and is shaped to the requirement of each phase of exercise delivery. When it is not possible to fill a position from military sources, the JWC has the option to source a contractor to fill a position. Not all contracted positions are required for each phase of each exercise .

    Background

    The JWC Grey Cell (GYC) and SIDECON RC are exercise response cell (RC) where GYC acts on behalf of non-NATO entities, countries and SIDECON on behalf of NATO countries / allies. During the planning process, they can be requested to contribute to all phases of JWC-directed exercises (ref Bi-Sc75-003). Grey Cell also represents organizations outside of the NATO command structure and additionally supports Cross Cutting Topics. National government or local governmental representatives are imbedded in both Grey and SIDONCE cells

    Role Duties and Responsibilities

  • Provide subject matter expertise to realistically represent a senior Minister and Deputy PM of the Affected Nation's (AN; country with NATO Forces deploying / deployed) Government to the training audience in accordance with the exercise scenario.
  • To provide strategic advice and guidance on matters concerning the AN's Government perspective and political concerns to the TA.
  • Ascertain that the TA is exposed to a realistic and coherent response by the AN Government and the GYC in general.
  • Act as the focal point for the training audience for all Strategic matters regarding the AN during exercise preparation and execution.
  • Coordinate political matters which have operational and strategic affect within the AN and EXCON team.
  • Develop a basic Concept of Operations for the AN Ministry of PO in the conflict and if required, develop and present plans.
  • Assist training audiences with initial planning stages by providing subject matter expertise and scenario representation to incorporate the AN Political position.
  • Understand and analyse developing training audience plans and documentation and their impacts on the AN at the Political and Strategic level.
  • In accordance with JWC guidance and management, and with all necessary co- ordination, generate appropriate exercise material to provide a challenging and realistic problem set to the training audience.
  • Essential Skills and Experience

  • Demonstrate 3 years’ experience in the last 10 in the field of political decision making at Ministry of Foreign Affairs level in Africa.
  • Demonstrate 3 years’ experience in the last 10 in briefing senior leaders / decision makers at the governance level in a National or Multinational environment.
