When I speak to friends outside of work now and again, we'll talk about what we do and when I say 'connecting world class technology and talent to defence' they say: 'That sounds awesome!'
Callum has been working at jHub for three years and, in his words, it's the best role he's had in defence. As Chief Operating Officer, Callum manages the jHub X Team which are responsible for the special forces projects within Strategic Command Innovation.
I really love it, it's an enthusiastic place to be. Everyone is incredibly forward leaning, everyone cares, and is incredibly passionate about what they do.
The jHub is made up of people from all backgrounds and this contributes to, what Callum describes as, a matrix of diversity across the organisation.
The mix between civil service and armed forces is evident throughout, and despite the challenges the two worlds combining sometimes presents, it's the numerous positives that Callum really enjoys:
I'm a civil servant but I spend more time with my military counterparts, and I personally get a lot out of it because I'm seeing the world through their eyes. I think the jHub is better for it.
The whole-force feel of the jHub and the host of backgrounds and experiences on offer, means working collaboratively to complete a task is more pleasure than chore.
When I'm in the office I've got a team all around me. I can bring together people from a range of experiences and we can run together on a project, collaborating and really making an impact.
With three-years under his belt, Callum is more than qualified to recommend jHub and ends our chat with a sincere:
I couldn't recommend it more. It's great.
