Summary

An exceptional opportunity for a mid-level Intelligence Analyst to shape the future of Defence & Government in Newcastle.

Defence and government work doesn't sit still. Threats shift, priorities change, and the organisations that support national security need people who can process information quickly and get it into the right hands. This role sits with an established SME operating in the Defence & Government space, a business that's grown steadily and now needs an Intelligence Analyst who can hold their own in a fast-moving environment without needing constant oversight.

Here's what you'll be doing:

Collecting, assessing and interpreting intelligence from multiple sources to support operational and strategic decisions

Producing clear, accurate reports and briefings for stakeholders across the business and, where relevant, government partners

Identifying patterns, gaps and emerging risks within complex data sets

Working alongside colleagues in Defence & Government to make sure intelligence products meet operational need

Maintaining rigorous standards of accuracy, security and confidentiality throughout every stage of the analysis process

Supporting continuous improvement of analytical methods and reporting tools

Here are the skills you'll need:

Proven experience as an Intelligence Analyst or in a closely related analytical role

Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to brief non-specialist audiences clearly

Sound judgement under pressure and a methodical approach to problem-solving

Familiarity with intelligence cycles, data analysis techniques and relevant reporting frameworks

Eligibility for UK security clearance is essential

Comfortable working independently within a structured, process-driven environment

Key perks and benefits:

Salary of £34,500 to £49,500, plus bonus scheme

Private medical insurance and pension contribution

Generous annual leave with flexible working options

Office-based role in Newcastle, with genuine investment in your professional development

A defined role with real room to grow as the business expands

Why pursue a career in Defence & Government?

Defence & Government work offers something a lot of sectors can't: real stakes and real purpose. Newcastle has become a genuine hub for this kind of work, with a growing cluster of organisations that need skilled analysts on the ground. Good Intelligence Analysts are hard to find, which means those who deliver tend to progress quickly.
