**About Us**

We’re MI6, also known as the Secret Intelligence Service.

Working across the globe and in close partnership with MI5 and GCHQ, we help the Government to counter these threats through the provision of secret intelligence. A role in MI6 will see you providing vital support to this work, within a supportive and encouraging environment that puts the emphasis on teamwork.

**The Role**

In addition, we build science, technology, engineering, and mathematics capability to enhance operations.

This is an exciting time to join OCSA. The Government’s pledge to increasing S&T investment means that the office will be expanding to include growth in across all its functions, but with a particular emphasis on understanding and preparing for future and emerging technologies.

Our team’s aspirational mission statement is**:“Focused on preparing the mission for advances in Science and Technology, to maximise opportunities and mitigate threats through world-class research, insights and advice.”**

The role will involve acting as a technical authority on one or more of our AI and Data Science research theme areas. You will develop a technical strategy for the theme(s) which will define the research programme.

- You’ll be independent and able to own your research area and develop an approach to its delivery. You will be supported by the team but as the domain expert you will be expected, after a settling in period, to create a strategic plan for and deliver the research theme.
- We are looking for a team player with proven record of collaboration and knowledge sharing. You’ll invest the time to ensure that knowledge is shared through good administrative practice and active, collaborative team engagement.
- You’ll be able to carry out research in an agile way, using agile type reporting and flexible ways of working. This will enable you to ensure that the research you commission will develop and learn as it progresses and will deliver a successful research outcome.
