Intelligence Analyst in London

At FCDO Services we protect the UK’s interests at home and overseas. We design and construct secure government buildings and courier diplomatic packages worldwide, safeguard government tech and a whole lot more. Our work is as varied and vital as it gets, but we never lose sight of our people. Their skills, aspirations and growth mean as much as the global mission we’re on.

Beyond our worldwide work in construction, logistics, and more, we're also home to the UK National Authority for Counter Eavesdropping (UK NACE). Working at the cutting edge of technology, the teams at UK NACE guard against technical espionage, provide policy advice to the government, investigate threats, and more—all to protect our nation's secrets.

In this role, you will:

• Analyse and prepare reports on events of interest to our clients, highlighting any trends or patterns you identify.
• Discover threats and illuminate false positives.
• Focus on detecting breaches of security policy or attempts at unauthorised access, making recommendations for improvement where weaknesses are identified.
• Research intelligence sources, interpret information, and deep dive into datasets as you carry out investigations.
• Assess the latest systems technology and provide advice on the design of dedicated equipment to combat identified vulnerabilities.
• Manage third-party suppliers of specialist software.
• Respond to requests for advice and guidance relating to threats or specific incidents.
• Work in cross-functional teams to deliver specific technical security consulting projects.
• Ensure that all analysis meets the requirements of our rigorous review assessment procedures.
• See that the publication and distribution of data and intelligence products reaches the right audiences.

To be successful in this role, you should have:

• Well-developed experience of data analysis and data management tools.
• A Level 3 qualification in Physics, Engineering or Technology.
• The ability to use data analysis to produce in-depth knowledge and insights.
• Excellent engagement, communication and interpersonal skills.
• A tenacious problem-solving attitude.
• A flexible and adaptable approach to your work.

Some experience of risk analysis and technical security at policy level would be desirable, as would an understanding of state actor threats and vulnerabilities. Knowledge of the relevant engineering and scientific fundamentals that support and underpin technical surveillance countermeasures would be a bonus, as would a Level 4 qualification in Engineering or Technology, and familiarity with relevant data analysis software, platforms or programmes.

When you join us, expect to receive a competitive salary, generous holiday entitlement and a Civil Service Pension. You’ll also have access to training and other development opportunities to help grow your career with us. Our offices have an on-site gym, nursery, café, and restaurant, and we offer interest-free loans on season tickets and bikes to help you get there.

Every single colleague must be security cleared before joining us. If you’re successful in your application, we’ll ask you to undergo our vetting process to achieve Developed Vetting (DV) clearance.

The vital work we do takes an incredible community of colleagues, with different skills, backgrounds, cultures and identities. We support every individual, so that you always know you’re welcome and valued. It’s what makes us a Disability Confident employer and why we’re recognised as a Carer Confident workplace.
