**Job summary**:
Intelligence is a vital part of the Department’s effort to protect vital services that make a difference to the lives of so many living in the UK. Delivering more than £220 billion in payments annually, while maintaining one of the largest repositories of personal information in Europe, we are an attractive target for a broad range of malicious cyber actors. Consequently, it is vital for DWP to identify and adapt to current and near-future cyber threats so that we keep our customers and their data safe. Crucially, this necessitates working collaboratively across the department and wider Government to develop enhanced understanding of the threat landscape, driving a more informed, capable, and proactive response.

The Threat Intelligence Group (TIG) is part of the Cyber Resilience Centre (CRC), and is a dynamic, innovative and service-oriented team that delivers intelligence-led security to defend the department. You will be working with government and private sector partners to build and mature this capability, detect malicious behaviour, and respond to threats.

As the team lead for strategic cyber threat intelligence, you will be responsible for all aspects of team activities, including its continuing quality, impact and maturity, as well as the welfare and development of assessments staff. Additionally, you will lead on the wider service offering of Threat Assessment, as part of wider TIG activities.

- Ensuring that staff work effectively with stakeholders to better understand and refine intelligence requirements, to include direct engagement with senior stakeholders.
- Ensuring that peer review of intelligence products is carried out effectively.
- Ensuring that the dissemination of intelligence products is carried out smoothly and efficiently, in addition to the successful collection of feedback.
- Providing briefings to relevant senior internal and external stakeholders, when necessary.

- The management of assigned internal and external relationships with both stakeholders and counterparts.
- Driving improvements in overall quality and impact of team intelligence products.
- Ultimate line management responsibility for all team staff, as well as mentoring responsibilities for more junior or embedded staff.

**Person specification**:

- Significant experience analysing open-source, commercial and government information in order to generate a comprehensive understanding of the threat landscape.
- Experience of effectively communicating threat intelligence through the appropriate use of high quality written reports and verbal briefings.
- Experience of successful management and leadership within the public or private-sector, preferably within an information security and / or intelligence environment.
- Experience of leading in an operationally-focused and high pressure environment.
- The ability to learn quickly and grasp essential details and be comfortable utilising others’ expertise to inform decision making and assessments.
- Experience working across organisational boundaries.

**Desirable for the role**:
