Information Systems and Services (ISS) is an integrated organisation looking across the whole information continuum of the Ministry of Defence (MoD), from the business to the battle-space. ISS defines information strategy, policy and architecture for the whole of Defence, considering how to meet our future requirements for information systems (both military and corporate) and then managing the delivery of projects and the supply chain. ISS currently has around 2,300 staff and controls an operating budget of more than £2bn a year with projects under development in excess of £10bn.

Ideally, you will also have substantial, senior level experience of intelligence systems and/or technical platforms to enable information capture, collection and interpretation acquired in a complex, sensitive, and high-risk setting. You will also have experience of leading and developing large, multi-disciplinary and geographically dispersed teams, proven ability to influence a wide range of senior stakeholders, strong financial and commercial acumen, and a relentless focus on driving change and continuous improvement.
