Do you want to help strengthen Denmark's defense industrial base?

Experienced civil servant (administrative officer) or senior consultant sought for the development of strategic cooperation between the Defence and industry as well as the establishment of robust supply security for the Defence.

About the position

The security policy situation places new demands on supply security, production capacity and collaboration between authorities and industry. Therefore the Danish Ministry of Defence’s Agency for Defence Acquisition and Procurement (FMI) is strengthening its efforts to develop the Danish defence industrial base.

FMI is looking for an engaged and analytically strong employee who will help develop and strengthen the Danish defence industrial base at a time when supply security, industrial capacity and strategic partnerships are crucial for Denmark's and NATO's defence capability.

You will play a central role in mapping and developing Danish industry and their supply chains and in creating stronger links between FMI and strategically selected manufacturers. You will be part of an area that works at the intersection of strategy, business development, supply security and material acquisitions. The work ranges from analyses and market dialogues to the development and implementation of concrete collaboration projects with companies, industry and cluster organisations as well as international partners.

The position can be filled with either an experienced civil servant (administrative officer) or a senior consultant depending on qualifications and experience.

Your tasks

As a staff member in the team you may among other things work with

· Mapping and analysis of Danish suppliers and sub-suppliers relevant to the Defence's materiel and capacity areas.

· Identification of critical supply chains and industrial key capacities.

· Preparation of decision proposals, analyses and strategic recommendations to management.

· Planning and conducting market dialogues with companies and industry associations.

· Establishment and development of strategic collaborations between FMI and the industry.

· Project management or participation in cross-cutting development projects.

· Collaboration with other state authorities, the Armed Forces, industry and international partners.

Additionally we imagine that you

· Have experience with analytical work, project management or strategic development.

· Work in a structured and independent manner.

· Communicate clearly both verbally and in writing.

· Value being part of a diverse team with different competencies.

· Have a driving licence, as meetings are held across the country.

If you are applying as a senior consultant, we also expect that you have several years of relevant experience and can drive larger tasks and projects independently.

Experience from the defence area is an advantage but not a requirement.

Why you should choose us

At FMI you will become part of a professionally strong environment where you will have the opportunity to work on tasks of great importance for Denmark's security and defence capability.

We offer among other things

· Great professional freedom and responsibility.

· Opportunity to influence an area in rapid development.
