Caseworker with an interest in operations for the Digital and Operational Transformation program

Would you like to contribute to strengthening the armed forces' combat power, have technical understanding and a desire to work with digitisation, international cooperation and complex systems?

Then it might be you we are looking for to join a team that will support one of Denmark's most important digital and operational transformations.

About the program

NATO and the Danish Defence are facing a time-critical and extensive digital and operational transformation to meet future challenges. The Digital and Operational Transformation (DOT) program at the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) was established in mid-2025 and has a large part of the responsibility for organising the Defence’s digital and operational transformation, including building a future digital and data-centric defence.

The DOT program is organised into two pillars

• Execution, including responsibility for building a new digital backbone and carrying out application migration to this backbone.
• Business, including responsibility for coordination and collaboration with the operational level, compliance with NATO force goals, building digital competencies, and new technological possibilities within the operational context.

The Multi Domain Operations section, where the position is located, sits in one of two offices under the Business Pillar. Collectively, we are responsible for ensuring that the digital transformation follows NATO requirements and expectations and aligns operational demands with the group, primarily the Defence, in coordination with other divisions in DALO. In the section we focus on the latter and therefore have a very close contact with the Defence Command.

About the position

We are looking for a colleague who can join the team that, together with the Defence and other stakeholders, must identify the operational needs that the digital transformation must support.

When you start with us, you will become part of the Multi Domain Operations section, where we create coherence between the Defence's operational needs and the digital world. We ensure that operations, digitisation and cross-domain collaboration are supported as effectively as possible—always with NATO’s requirements and standards at the centre.

In the role you help translate the business needs into concrete requirements and create understanding between the operational environments and the technical systems. You contribute to Defence being able to use data and technology effectively across the operational domains and with NATO.

Your tasks will include, among others, to

• Understand, describe and process the current architecture requirements and principles, with a view to linking strategy and capability goals with existing processes and interoperability requirements.
• Assist in developing the business architecture in collaboration with operational users, technical experts and with a view to ensuring NATO interoperability.
• Coordinate and collaborate with operational authorities to strengthen cross-domain use of data and technology.
• Process requirements and expectations, and function as the interface between the operational and technical worlds.
• Prepare and develop process descriptions that support the Defence’s operational tasks.

We are a section that is under development with good opportunities to influence both daily work and how we plan the long-term task solving. We strive to be a section focused on development and trust in one another. We focus on strengthening our task solving by ensuring representation in the section of both military and digital competences, to actively utilise our diversity, strengths and experiences. We work agile across sections and departments and you will, together with passionate colleagues, contribute to creating well-rounded solutions for users.

The role’s specific content is determined by your particular competences, experience and strengths in relation to the concrete tasks in the section, as well as your ambition level and development wishes.

There is some possibility to work from home, but we prioritise presence in the office, as we see that task solving is strengthened through ongoing sparring and relationship-building. There will be periods of travel activity of shorter duration, typically in connection with meetings, planning tasks and conferences.
