SIS is an organisation you may more commonly know as MI6. They offer a wide range of opportunities in areas including cyber, languages and security/intelligence.
So what are intelligence officers ?
MI6 has protected the UK from overseas dangers such as terrorism, cyber-threats and regional instability since 1909. As an Intelligence Officer (IO), you’ll be central to their mission. IOs gather, deliver and use secret intelligence to keep the country safe. It’s a fascinating and diverse role where you’ll use everyday skills, including communication and empathy, to tackle extraordinary challenges.
You could help plan and manage an intelligence gathering operation, meet with overseas agents or keep the government up to date with accurate reports. Whatever the requirements, you’ll be at the heart of keeping the UK safe.
Seeking to attract the very best talent this country has to offer., they are looking for people with potential, not already trained. You’ll bring a thirst for learning and a desire to make an impact. Plus, you’ll have an interest in foreign cultures and how they shape societies.
There are four roles within the IO umbrella, and successful applicants will typically do all four during their career, either in the UK and/or overseas.
- Operational Managers, who plan and manage intelligence collection operations.
- Targeters are charged with turning information, such as data, into human intelligence operations.
- Reporting Officers link us to Whitehall and are responsible for validating and testing intelligence.
- Case Officers are the people managing and building relationships with agents.
The application window to become an Intelligence Officer will open at the end of February. This role is open to all eligible candidates including those applying from HM Government departments/agencies (military/police included).
