A multinational defence organisation is developing its cyber and communications monitoring capabilities, and needs someone who can turn what operators say they need into requirements an engineering team can build against — and keep the two in step as both move.

What you would be doing

• Supporting the development and management of technical and operational requirements for cyber and communications monitoring capabilities.
• Working with stakeholders, users, technical authorities and operational representatives to draw out, analyse and write down what is really required.
• Translating operational needs into engineering, system, functional and non-functional requirements that can be designed and tested against.
• Producing and maintaining the engineering artefacts around them, including traceability from the original need through to verification.
• Keeping requirements current as the capability evolves, and making the consequences of a change visible before it is agreed.
• Briefing and presenting to technical and non-technical audiences.

What you would bring

• Requirements engineering on real systems — elicitation, analysis, specification and verification, not documentation after the fact.
• A cyber security background solid enough to challenge a requirement that will not work.
• Experience of monitoring and detection capabilities, and of the tooling they are built on.
• Writing that survives review: clear, testable statements rather than aspirations.
• Working across a multinational organisation where stakeholders disagree and someone has to reconcile them.
• Fluent professional English.
