Programme overview

MI5’s Intelligence and Data Analyst Development Programme is a structured five-and-a-half-year pathway to become a fully trained Intelligence and Data Analyst.

Analysts work with colleagues across MI5, partner agencies and UK allies to turn complex, incomplete information into insight for investigations.

The pathway usually includes three postings, though some candidates may complete two longer placements; assignments are determined by business need.

Analytical work

  • Use data and tools to uncover patterns, connect activity and help teams understand threats, risks and opportunities.
  • Refine investigative requirements, analyse complex datasets and produce intelligence products that support investigations.
  • Present findings clearly and collaborate with partners across MI5.
  • Further postings may involve investigation analysis, training or tradecraft development.

Training and development

  • The programme develops analytical tradecraft, judgement, technical capability and collaboration through structured training, guided practice and varied postings.
  • Training includes working with multiple data types, structured analytical techniques, advanced tools and open-ended problems.
  • The pathway includes opportunities to deepen technical expertise, including coding and querying.

Hours and programme schedule

  • The role is full time, 36 hours per week; the initial four-month training period follows fixed Monday-to-Friday hours.
  • The development pathway lasts five and a half years. Post-training analytical postings typically last two to two and a half years.
  • Annual leave cannot be taken during the initial four-month training period.

Location and working arrangements

  • The role is office based in London, with time split between Central and West London locations.
  • Remote, hybrid and home working are not possible. Flexitime and compressed hours may be available during most of the programme, subject to business need.

Salary

  • Salary is £40,428, rising to £43,705 after one year.

Requirements

  • Commit to the five-and-a-half-year structured development pathway.
  • Develop analytical tradecraft, sound judgement, technical capability and effective collaboration skills through training and varied postings.
  • Work full time, 36 hours per week, during the initial four-month training period.
  • Work from MI5’s Central and West London locations; remote, hybrid and home working are not available.
