Join a sme Defence & Government company as a Security Intelligence Analyst in London.
Defence and government work doesn't forgive sloppy thinking.
Threats move fast, data volumes are enormous, and the organisations operating in this space need people who can separate signal from noise under pressure.
This growing SME, established in the Defence & Government sector, is adding a Security Intelligence Analyst to a team that already takes the work seriously.
It's based in London, in an office, five days a week, working alongside analysts who've been doing this for years.
Here's what you'll be doing: Monitor, collect and analyse security intelligence from open and closed sources, flagging anything that changes the risk picture Produce clear, concise intelligence reports and briefings for internal stakeholders and government-facing clients Track threat actors, emerging vulnerabilities and geopolitical developments relevant to the organisation's Defence & Government client base Build and maintain assessment frameworks that turn raw data into something decision-makers can actually use Work closely with technical and operational teams to validate findings and close intelligence gaps Support audits, accreditation processes and compliance checks tied to government security standards Here are the skills you'll need: A few years' experience in intelligence analysis, security operations, or a related Defence & Government role Strong analytical instincts.
You should be comfortable making judgement calls with incomplete information Familiarity with intelligence frameworks, OSINT tools and reporting standards used across government and defence work Excellent written communication.
Reports need to be accurate and readable by non-specialists too The security clearance eligibility this sector requires (or the ability to obtain it) A collaborative streak.
You'll be working across teams, not in a silo Key perks and benefits: £43,000 to £56,500, depending on experience, plus a bonus scheme Private medical insurance and solid pension contributions Generous annual leave with flexible working built around it Office-based role in London, with a team that's structured but not rigid Genuine progression.
This is a growing SME, not a flat org chart Why pursue a career in Defence & Government?

A Security Intelligence Analyst who's good at the job will always have options, because the threats aren't slowing down and neither is the demand for people who can read them properly.
Few sectors reward sharp analytical thinking as consistently, or as visibly, as this one.
This Security Intelligence Analyst opportunity is brought to you by The Opportunity Hub UK.
