What You’ll Be Doing:
As mentioned, Leidos Europe has revolutionised the military supply chain within the UK and, on behalf of Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S), manages the companies which supply the UK Armed Forces.

This aim of this role is to leverage the knowledge and experience of Leidos Europe and the successful applicant to increase the number of companies within the supply chain who hold Cyber Essentials by educating, encouraging and supporting those companies through the process of applying for and gaining cyber essentials.
