Intelligence Officer

London, United Kingdom Secret Intelligence Service Full time

We’re MI6 also known as the SIS. Our mission is to protect the security and economic well being of the UK from overseas threats such as regional instability, terrorism, and cyber-attacks. 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 SIS will see you providing vital contributions to this work, within a supportive and encouraging environment that puts the emphasis on teamwork.

As an Intelligence Officer (IO), you’ll be central to our mission. Our IOs gather secret intelligence to protect the UK and its interests overseas. It’s a fascinating and diverse role where you’ll use everyday skills, including communication, influencing and empathy, to tackle extraordinary challenges. It’s genuinely interesting and rewarding work.

We don’t expect you to be a fully trained IO when you join; it’s your skills and potential we’re interested in. Your initial training course will help prepare you, exploring more than one role and building a range of strengths. Then, you’ll join one of our operational teams to continue your development. You’ll broaden and develop different skills, maybe even learn a language, and along the way you’ll find options to specialise in a chosen field - and the possibility to move into team leadership and management too, if that’s something you’re interested in.

IOs work across four main business areas:
**Operational Managers**: responsible for planning operations, while identifying and managing risks.

**Targeters**: tasked with turning information, such as data, into operations alongside our partner agencies.

**Reporting Officers**: link us with Whitehall and our intelligence customers and are responsible for validating and testing the intelligence as well as briefing ministers.

**Case Officers**: build and manage relationships with agents - the people who pass us the intelligence we need.

This is critical work that keeps the UK safe. Depending on the business area you’re in, you might meet a contact for a chat in a café, be briefing a key customer during a meeting in Whitehall, or you could be gathering intelligence online at our offices. And like any other job, you’ll be contactable if your family and friends need you.

**The Intelligence Officer Training Pathway**

You’ll benefit from 8 weeks of initial classroom-based training where you’ll be allocated a role within one of the four business areas (see above). With continuous support and a personal mentor, you’ll enjoy on the job learning for 18 months. As you become more experienced and your confidence grows, you’ll be given a portfolio of work to own and manage (with support).

You’ll then complete additional training at a higher level, before moving into another placement for the remainder of the Pathway.

For the remainder of your career you’ll have the benefit of moving into a different role approximately every three years, increasing your knowledge and skills across our core work, so it’s important that you demonstrate aptitude and interest in at least two of the four business areas during the recruitment process (however if you specialise in a particularly niche area, there may be an opportunity to stay within this area of work for longer than three years). The breadth of opportunity as well as learning really does make this a role like no other.

**About you**

We’re looking for people with an interest in the world around them, who can take a wealth of information and enjoy making sense of it. We need people of every background with a range of life experiences who bring real intellectual curiosity.

At the same time, we’re looking for people who can build good relationships with those around them, putting themselves in others’ shoes and looking to understand how they feel.

As well as demonstrating a strong motivation for joining the organisation and doing the IO role, you’ll also be able to demonstrate the following key competencies:
**Problem solving and judgement **- a keen problem-solver, you’ll be comfortable in your decision making but also able to bring in the expertise of others when you’re unsure.

**Personal organisation and proactivity** - a good organiser, you’ll be able to multi-task, prioritising work and able to create and develop plans. With an objective approach, you’ll review progress and risks, to ensure plans use resources efficiently.

**Clear communicator and Influencer** - you’ll present information to others concisely and tailored to your audience. And you’ll use your communication and people skills to build strong arguments so you can confidently and credibly bring others round to your point of view.

**Able to work with others** - with empathy and an ability to take account of other’s objectives, you’
