Perfect role for a mid professional looking to grow their Defence & Government career in Bristol.
Defence procurement in the UK has shifted hard towards intelligence-led decision making, and the organisations doing it well need people who can turn raw data into judgements that matter.
This Defence Intelligence Analyst role sits inside an established industry leader with a long track record on large-scale government programmes.
It's a sector where accuracy isn't optional, and where a well-structured, process-driven employer gives you the frameworks to do the job properly rather than figuring it out as you go.
Here's what you'll be doing: Analyse open-source and classified intelligence material to produce assessments for internal and client stakeholders Build and maintain structured reporting on emerging threats, geopolitical shifts and defence sector developments Work alongside programme teams to translate intelligence findings into decisions that feed live projects Maintain rigorous documentation standards in line with security protocols and data handling policy Brief senior stakeholders clearly and concisely, often under time pressure Track and refine analytical methods, feeding lessons learned back into team practice Here are the skills you'll need: Proven experience in an intelligence, defence, or government analysis role at mid level Strong analytical writing, you can turn complexity into something a non-specialist can act on Comfort working within established security clearance frameworks (SC or DV clearance desirable, or willingness to obtain) Sound judgement under ambiguity.
Not every data point points the same way Collaborative instincts.
You'll work across teams, not in isolation Attention to detail that doesn't slow you down Key perks and benefits: Salary of £39,000 to £50,500, depending on experience Office-based role in Bristol, with the structure and support of an established team around you Private medical and dental insurance Enhanced pension scheme and performance-based bonuses Comprehensive benefits package and clear, structured career development Why pursue a career in Defence & Government?
Defence and government work rewards precision, and it rewards people who stay calm when the picture is incomplete.

Few sectors offer this level of job security alongside work that actually shapes national decisions.
This Defence Intelligence Analyst opportunity is brought to you by The Opportunity Hub UK.
