The Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) as the Single Point of Authority (SPA) for NATO Enterprise Cyber Security is developing and plan to execute the NATO Cyber Adaptation Roadmap (CAR) which consists of a variety of lines of effort, all aimed at improving and bolstering cyber security capabilities for the NATO Enterprise.

NATO ACT Cyberspace Branch, in its role as the Capability Requirements Authority (CRA) for the Cyberspace Programme, look to outfit Cyberspace capability across key Cyber Security and Cyberspace Operations capability areas.

There is a need to align this effort, under the Cyberspace Programme, with the OCIO CAR.

Responsibilities:
  • The selected candidate will support, on a daily basis, the de-confliction, alignment and harmonization between the current and future plans of the Cyberspace CPP, working in different capacities to both build bridges and alignment across teams.
  • The role requires intimate knowledge of both programmes (Cyberspace and CAR) in order to work with key stakeholders to identify any overlaps, exclusions and/or potential challenges that should be identified early to easily mitigate.
  • The selected candidate will be required to work with a large set of stakeholders, including but not limited to, staff in the Cyberspace Branch at ACT, staff in the OCIO, staff at NCIA and, of course, ACO.
  • The selected incumbent should regularly review multiple risk registers across both programmes (and projects) and regularly analyse potential schedule, technical or other programmatic conflicts.
  • The Liaison Officer shall Maintain oversight and knowledge of future projects and existing projects within the Cyberspace Programme, keeping specific note of the capabilities and their projected scope.
  • The Liaison Officer must act as a bridge between the ACT team and the OCIO, as well as between the US and Brussels and must therefore coordinate and arrange meetings and other activities in order to converge ACT and OCIO teams.
  • Using the information acquired through tasking above, the liaison officer must engage with OCIO staff (as appropriate) and monitor (to the best extent possible) activities within the Cyber Adaptation Roadmap (CAR) and, on a regular basis, analyse touchpoints, dependencies and any conflicts.
  • The Liaison Officer must work actively with NCIA to de-conflict projects, where necessary, emerging from the Cyberspace Programme and the OCIO Programme of Work (or Cyber Adaptation Roadmap). The liaison must track activities and ensure synchronization takes place where possible.
  • With respect to the activities within the Cyber Adaptation Roadmap (or CIO Programme of Work), the Liaison Officer must work actively with other respective stakeholders in ACT (CIS, ACT-CIO, AoS) in coordination with the Implementation Officer, to help to identify any potential conflicts between ACT, NCIA and OCIO goals.
  • Based on the analysis performed in the activities above, the Liaison Officer must action any identified conflicts to resolution by working with the appropriate stakeholders from ACT (PD, Capability Engineers and Requirement Managers), OCIO (SMEs, as appropriate), NCIA (PMs and SMEs, as appropriate). Conflicts must continue to be tracked until they are no longer considered a risk to the overall Programmes.
  • On a monthly basis, the liaison officer shall present to the Cyberspace section (OPS and CAPS) on the ongoing OCIO projects and the outcomes from the analysis performed in the tasks described above. This meeting may be expanded to the wider Cyberspace Branch and / or beyond to others branches in CAPDEV, as necessary.

The Officer must also assist these branches with understanding tasks related to their AOR and oversee coordination within ACT across Cyber, CIS, AOS and ACT’s CIO office.
