The projects involve contributing to overarching strategic concepts, goals, and requirements for the Armed Forces, developing governing documents, coordinating development between the branches of the military, directing how functional schools and competence centers develop their educational and training activities, strategic issues related to NATO implementation, etc. You are also expected to contribute ideas and materials for research, studies, and other development activities to ensure that intelligence and security services remain relevant in the future.

Personal Qualities

You have a good ability to plan time and resources for both your own work and that of a project group.

You are structured with a focus on system perspective; you are driven by ensuring coherence and that things are interconnected. You are goal- and results-oriented but can also reflect on consequences, both at the individual and system level.

You have a high personal maturity, reliability, and integrity which instills confidence in your work. A high security awareness characterizes you as a person.

Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.
