About the role

SimIS, Inc. is seeking a Military Partnership Advisor to support partner capability development in alignment with NATO doctrine and planning processes. This defense planner role focuses on long-term capability development (>5 years) rather than operations. Requirements include a Master's degree or BS with NATO staff college, plus 10 years in defense or security roles within NATO or multinational contexts. The role emphasizes policy guidance and strategic advisory duties.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
