We are open to receiving applications from people who wish to work flexibly, part-time or in job share roles, and are willing to consider reducing the scope of the role to accommodate this.

Previous external relationship management experience is essential, and the candidate should be willing and able to represent NCSC externally, attending meetings and presenting both in person and online as required.

The role is not technical and previous cyber security experience is not essential, however a demonstrated ability to engage with partners on technical subjects would be beneficial. There may also be opportunities to use relevant technical skills and knowledge in the role and to more broadly support the NCSC’s objectives. The NCSC’s Cyber Security Development Framework is available to support colleagues’ development and informal learning via colleagues also provides a proven route to cyber literacy.

As an important part of the Ministry of Defence, Defence Intelligence (DI) provides intelligence analysis, specialist outputs and advice that supports decision making across government. At the heart of DI is the National Centre for Geospatial Intelligence (NCGI).

Everything happens somewhere. NCGI produces intelligence that is referenced in time and space to help decision makers to understand, plan, navigate, and target; to understand what is going on.

We are the primary provider of geospatial intelligence, advice and expertise, comprising imagery intelligence, geospatial analysis, geospatial services, foundation data, military mapping and, in partnership with the UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) and the Meteorological Office, assured data for safety of navigation. We are a national capability, recognisably operating alongside other national intelligence agencies and are the primary interface between the UK and international geospatial intelligence partners.

You may think you need to be an analyst or have an intelligence background to work for NCGI; this is not true. There is a wide range of exciting roles available. Without our highly dedicated teams of enabling staff, such as IT support, finance, security, and facilities management, our critical outputs would just not be possible. We employ many Civil Servants who play a pivotal role in Defence, nationally and internationally, and we are proud to be part of a diverse, forward thinking, broad organisation.

Work undertaken by our analysts varies from individual tasks to joint efforts with our partners within the United Kingdom and overseas. Our analysts are trained experts who have been encouraged to develop their skills through personal and professional development. Our collaborative working environment ensures all analysts have an invaluable support network available to them.

This position is advertised at 37 hours per week.

You will participate in the collection, processing and evaluation of raw, unprocessed imagery and deliver robust assessments on a topic relating to your designated portfolio. Assigned to a regional or thematic team and working together with analysts of other disciplines, IAs support key decision makers satisfying Defence Prioritised Intelligence Requirements.

Delivering indicators and warnings to UK strategic and operational level planners.

Providing situational awareness to deployed UK Armed Forces.

Developing deep subject matter expertise on emerging military capabilities.

Expanding the Intelligence Community’s awareness of advancements in adversarial tactics, techniques and procedures.

Continuous career professional development opportunities are provided through tradecraft courses, conferences and career management. The IA community extends beyond the UK and you will share and improve your expertise through key engagement with international partners at both the analytical and decision-making level.

Applicants will have to successfully complete the 16-week Defence Imagery Intelligence Analysis Course (DIIAC) (within the first 12 months of being in post). On the course they will be trained in exploiting raw data collected from multiple platforms and, using a myriad of specialist applications, will be able to identify activity normally undetectable using traditional analytical techniques. Accommodation is provided for those requiring it for the duration of the course. Applicants who have already undertaken and passed the UKIAC or DIIAC will not be required to re-attend. Those who have completed the RFIAC will be assessed to understand their skills and knowledge and may be asked to attend the course.

In Defence Intelligence (DI) our people solve problems, create understanding and give perspective to the diverse and complex Defence threats and challenges in a rapidly changing world. Together our civilians and military personnel inform decision making in Defence, manage complex finance programmes and develop new technology.
