Operate at the Edge of What’s Possible
Black Star Global operates a standing expression of interest process — not public job boards. All submissions are treated with strict confidentiality and reviewed against current and pipeline mandate requirements. We do not advertise broadly. We select deliberately.
Black Star Global operates in the world’s most complex environments — where the quality of your thinking, judgement, and commitment makes the difference. We bring together professionals from defence, intelligence, security, technology, and advisory backgrounds who share one thing: a preference for doing things that matter, in places where it counts.
We are not a conventional employer. Black Star Global operates on a project and retainer model, deploying specialist expertise as programme requirements demand. We value discretion, operational depth, and the ability to perform under pressure without direction. If that sounds like you, we want to hear from you.
Application Process
Initial Expression of Interest
Complete the expression of interest form below with your details, experience summary, and full CV text. No file uploads or external links — this is an air-gapped submission.
Initial Conversation
Suitable candidates will be contacted for an introductory call with the relevant programme lead or capability director. This is a two-way conversation — we want to understand your background, and you should understand ours.
Vetting & Background Verification
All candidates undergo thorough background verification appropriate to the role and operating environment. This may include security clearance checks, reference verification, and skills assessment.
Deployment Consideration
Cleared candidates are placed on the active deployment roster for current and upcoming programme requirements matching their profile.
What We Look For
Operational Depth
You have done the work — not just advised on it. We value people who have operated in the field, led teams, and delivered programmes.
Sector Expertise
Security, intelligence, cyber, aviation, maritime, conservation, logistics, or advisory — we need depth, not breadth.
Discretion
Black Star Global operates in sensitive environments for clients who require total confidentiality. This is non-negotiable.
Geographic Experience
Priority experience: Sub-Saharan Africa, Gulf / GCC, Mediterranean. In-country experience is a significant advantage.
Adaptability
Our programmes don’t follow a template. You need to be comfortable designing and delivering in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
