Employer Comments

Effective Requirements setting is critical to all that follows and must be subject to an acceptance methodology that demonstrates capability acceptance across all 6 DLODs to the User. This can only be done by a uniformed Requirements Manager (RM) with current, relative operational experience in the Maritime Domain. There is a degree of 'translation' from the front line to DE&S counterparts to ensure the requirement and acceptance criteria is articulated (and understood); providing requirements context and assessing operational impact.  The uniformed RM is also best placed to judge acceptance from a user perspective, ensuring that acceptance events clearly demonstrate to the user that the capability is fit for purpose. DE&S relies on the RM to provide credible user advice as required and the incumbent should be in date for core military skills training.

Platform experience is essential to understand the variety and breadth of capabilities within the Maritime TDLs RM portfolio. Wider understanding of the individual and collective capabilities role in delivering operational effect is also beneficial in understanding interdependencies and informing threats and opportunities as a result. The Maritime TDLs RM portfolio is wide ranging and involves a plethora of stakeholders across NC, within DE&S organisations and in wider industry. Good technical and communication skills are pivotal in influencing these areas to achieve the required NC outcomes.

The RM is the advocate for C&A as a 'team sport' and works collaboratively to engage / influence stakeholders / DLODs to ensure Cap Sponsor / SRO / RSO intent is met.  The incumbent must be consensus orientated who can work effectively as a team member or when called upon to use their own initiative.

Often working as singleton NC representative with DE&S and industry, they must be a proven self-starter, able to ruthlessly prioritise – who are empowered to manage their own diary and work location.  Flexible working is key to maximising productivity in a matrix managed function, where productivity over presenteeism is paramount.
