About us:
At OMNIA® Training, we’ve brought together some of the UK’s most innovative defence training organisations under one powerful mission: to transform the British Army’s training system and create the best-trained Army in the world.

OMNIA are redefining the British Army’s collective training. To do that, we are looking for the best and brightest minds from across the UK. We are backed by British innovation and powered by world-class experts, like you. OMNIA is at the heart of the UK’s bold Land Industrial Strategy.

The role:
This is more than a job — it’s a mission. You will be part of a high-impact, collaborative environment, where we expect everyone to live the values and standards of the British Army. Every person in our team plays a critical role in delivering OMNIA’s vision; designing, delivering, and transforming collective training so the British Army is ready to fight and win.

You’ll work in a matrix organisation and report operationally through OMNIA Training and functionally through the OMNIA Data Lead. Ultimately, you’ll work for the British Army, championing innovation, and helping shape the future of military collective training.

Key Responsibilities:

• Analyse complex datasets and translate findings into actionable insights aligned with Army training objectives.

• Design and deliver clear, meaningful visualisations and reports that support operational decision-making.

• Develop and maintain data models, metrics, and metadata structures to improve training analytics.

• Maintain and govern data dictionaries to ensure consistency and shared understanding across domains.

• Collaborate with data architects and engineers to ensure analytical outputs align with enterprise architecture and platform standards.

• Support the evolution of data architectures by contributing analytical requirements and feedback.

• Communicate analytical findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders to inform strategy and operational improvements.

• Conduct exploratory analysis and limited prototyping to evaluate emerging data techniques relevant to training analytics.

Who we are looking for:

You’ll have a mission focus, and the enthusiasm and drive to ‘get things done’.  You’ll want to work in collaboration with other defence training organisations, and the British Army.
