Salary: £34,663 (includes concessionary payment of £2,520)
At GCHQ, we unlock the complex world of data and communications to keep the UK and its citizens safe, both in the real world and online. Working closely with our British Intelligence partners in MI5 and MI6, we protect the UK from threats including serious organised crime, terrorism, and cyber-attacks. A role in GCHQ means you’ll have varied and fascinating work in a supportive and encouraging environment that puts the emphasis on teamwork.
In the past have you ever faced a problem that seemed impossible to solve, but you kept pushing ahead, trying different approaches until you found a solution? If so, you might have the makings of an Intelligence Data Analyst. Now what would that mean for you?
Well, it could mean joining a team who have helped prevent multiple terrorist attacks in a single year, has responded to a major North Korean cyber-attack, and whose intelligence has strengthened Ukraine’s cyber capabilities. That’s just some of the vital work our analysts do at GCHQ, and now, you’ve got the opportunity to join them.
As an Intelligence Data Analyst, you’ll work with bespoke technology to gather information from different sources, including internet-connected devices and use your analytical skills to make sense of it. It’s like putting together a puzzle, with pieces scattered across the digital landscape. Sometimes, you’ll discover the answer you’re looking for right away. And other times, you’ll have to go down a few rabbit holes to find out more; but that’s where the excitement lies.
As someone who’s curious, you’ll have plenty of questions – and that’s great. But we won’t expect you to have all the answers. That’s why, to help you thrive in your role, we’ll provide a comprehensive training and development programme led by tutors and mentors. Along with this, you’ll be supported by colleagues - not just those in our office, but a global team working from different locations around the world. Every step of the way, you’ll be encouraged to share ideas as you become part of a world-class intelligence data analysis team.
To apply for this role, all you'll need is a Level 2 (GCSE-equivalent) qualification in English Language and Maths at Grade 4/C or above - it’s your curiosity, tenacity, and determination that’s key here.
