Joint Intelligence Organisation - Principal Intelligence Analyst, Science & Technology

We are looking for someone with demonstrable expertise in Science & Technology (S&T), who is able to synthesise a wide-range of sources into robust assessment which can meaningfully inform decisions on national security, resilience and economic growth. You will be capable of producing high-quality assessment to tight deadlines, with a track record of working closely with senior customers and subject matter experts.

This is an exciting opportunity to work at the centre of HMG’s national security machinery, helping to inform the UK’s response to priority national and international issues.

The Joint Intelligence Organisation (JIO) primarily supports the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) and the National Security Council, the Prime Minister and other key decision-makers by providing authoritative, robust all-source intelligence assessment on a vast range of national security and foreign policy priorities.

Our work covers, and goes beyond, ‘traditional’ national security topics such as geopolitical issues and threats to British interests. We apply a national security lens to issues such as emerging technology, economic and health security, climate change and horizon scanning (for example, identifying and monitoring countries at risk of instability).

You can read more about working for the JIO in the information pack attached at the bottom of this advert.

As Principal Analyst in JIO’s S&T team you will deliver strategic national security assessments across a range of thematic areas including AI, quantum, space and engineering biology – responding to policy requirements and emerging threats. You will also be assigned a geographic area of responsibility and have a cross Whitehall coordination role.
