  • Influence the development of the 2026 Organisational Capability Review (OCR) and beyond.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead structural design and analysis aligned with future Army capabilities.

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement abilities.
  • Strategic thinking with a talent for simplifying complex data.

Nice-to-Haves:

  • Experience in strategic transformation initiatives.
  • Ability to challenge assumptions and improve organisational effectiveness.
  • Familiarity with Army modernisation or workforce planning processes.

Why This Role is Perfect for You

You'll thrive if you:

  • Are looking for recognition and want to work where your impact is acknowledged.
  • Crave career growth through meaningful, high-level projects.
  • Value work-life balance and the flexibility to manage both personal and professional commitments.
  • Enjoy collaborating across disciplines and mentoring others while continuing your own learning journey.

What You'll Get
