About KBR:

KBR is a global provider of differentiated professional services and

technologies across the asset and program lifecycle within the Government

Services and Energy sectors. KBR employs approximately 35,000 people

worldwide (including our joint ventures), with customers in more than 75

countries, and operations in 40 countries, across three synergistic global

businesses.

Government Services International is a core KBR Business Unit with

over 3,000 people delivering the most novel, large-scale, complex and austere

projects faced by our customers in both public and private sectors across the

world. Our work is diverse and spans government, defence, security and

infrastructure markets. We pride ourselves on being a trusted partner,

helping take on and successfully deliver these challenges.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for people who can challenge the status-quo;

innovators with the vision and drive to take

our business to the next level.

You’ll

need to be an

articulate

thought-leader with an inquisitive mind, able to

critically

analyse situations and create value for us and our customers.

We’re after some

entrepreneurial

talent coupled with the persistence and resilience to see things through.

Passion

and energy are as

important as intellectual curiosity and forward thinking.

What will you do?

The roles are

varied – we want people who can work in diverse jobs across our business.

Assignments will differ and we need flexible people able to undertake both

internal and external facing work.

So what sort

of things will you do? You could be working on an internal change programme

helping us to transform our business, or undertaking analysis to support our

strategy and business development activities.

You might be

asked to lead a team to deliver a complex project, or selected to work in our

advisory teams helping to

solve some of the most exciting problems for our

clients

. You could be

part of a bid team, creating commercial solutions to win new work, or maybe

you’ve had a bright idea and are commissioned to bring it to life.

There is no typical job. Some assignments could be for a few months,

others for a few years. You could be based in our Leatherhead office, or with

a client or partner in their office. There is lots of variety – it’s an

exciting place to be!

Qualifications, Experience,

Skills & Knowledge

Qualifications

Essential:

you must hold an accredited MBA (AACSB, AMBA and/or EQUIS) from a recognised

university. You could have earned this full-time, part-time or via an

executive route. You may hold other qualifications or professional

certifications, which is great, but you must have an MBA too.

Experience

We

are seeking a broad range of people to join us, from junior to director level.

Your experience could

be from a range of industries or

sectors, but we are looking for people with demonstrable commercial acumen. Knowledge

of Scrum (Agile) development process would be a bonus.

Skills & Knowledge

Thinking

– strong analytical and strategic thinking skills are required. You’ll need

to be able to delve into the detail, without losing sight of the bigger

picture. The ideal candidates will have the ability to juggle rapidly

changing priorities, multi-task, switch context between projects and bring

ideas to life at speed.

Communications

– you need to be a good communicator, someone who can put across a compelling

perspective and hold their own in debates. Our business is complex and the

best communicators can distil complex situations and explain in a way that

others can understand. You also need to be an engaging speaker, able to keep

the attention

of others whilst getting your

message across.

People – the heart of our business is our people and

you’ll need strong people skills to be successful. You should be comfortable

working in teams, both real and virtual, and networking at all levels in the

organisation. You need to be comfortable interacting with a range of external

and internal stakeholders including clients.

Technology – we are looking for people who are tech-savvy;

business digitalisation is important to us and it needs to be for you too.

You need to be familiar with MS Office and hopefully more – everyone can use

PowerPoint, but can you use Prezi, Visme or Haiku Deck?

Drive – you must be a self-starter and quick learner able

to get things done with a minimum level of guidance/supervision and should be

ready to work independently or in a team. We are looking for problem solvers

who can see an issue and fix it.

A high level of motivation, flexibility, drive,

and personal commitment is essential.

Important information

Essential:

you must hold or be able to obtain UK

security clearance to work in these roles. If you don’t already hold a form

of UK security clearance, don’t worry, we can help you to apply for it as part

of the recruitment process but ideally you will have been resident in the UK

for a minimum of the last 5 years in order to obtain clearance.

You need to

be willing to undertake some travel; our clients are spread around the UK and

internationally. Being able to drive is a big plus. Longer-term international

assignments may also be available for those willing to go overseas.

Our ideal

candidates will be full-time, but we are willing to consider part-time

candidates if we think you can add something to our team.

What to do next?

If you are

interested, submit your CV and a covering letter telling us why we should

hire you (try to keep the letter to less than 2 sides of A4 – this is not an

MBA dissertation!).

The best

applicants make it easy for us to see how you match what we want; tell us

what skills, knowledge and experience you can bring and how you can make a

difference. We understand that the content of MBA’s can vary, so please put

the subjects/modules you studied on your CV.

Closing

deadline – we are recruiting on a rolling basis, so we will keep going until

we find the right people.
