Job Description

If you know what actually happens between a clearance request and a clearance certificate, this is a rare role.

You will support a newly established central personnel security section at a NATO agency in Brussels, working the full lifecycle of personnel security clearances with all 32 member nations.

What you will be doing

• Supporting initiation, renewal, transfer and revocation of personnel security clearances
• Interacting regularly with the National Security Authorities of all 32 member nations
• Supporting the handover of personnel security for the agency's remote locations into the new central section
• Keeping the records and correspondence that make each case auditable
• Briefing the work in English to a varied audience

What you will need

• Demonstrated experience in personnel security under NATO security policy
• Direct experience interacting with member nations' National Security Authorities
• Practical knowledge of initiation, transfer, renewal and revocation of clearances
• Strong written English and the confidence to brief it

Worth knowing before you apply

• Fully on-site in Brussels
• The section is newly established, so you are helping to set how it runs rather than joining a finished process

Practical detail

• Contract engagement, about 516 hours from late September to the end of December 2026
• An active security clearance is required for this role
