We have an exciting opportunity for you to join a talented, highly motivated team as a SIGINT Policy Specialist.

This role will suit a highly motivated individual who wants to further develop and broaden their skills in policy development, analysis and advice, in a dynamic environment. It will be particularly suited to someone who is looking to apply their operational knowledge and broaden their professional intelligence experience.

Come and join our team that is responsible for:
Developing and maintaining SIGINT policy, procedures and guidance
Providing specialist policy advice and education on SIGINT policy matters
Developing and maintaining positive relationships with key stakeholders across GCSB and the intelligence community
Engaging with counterparts to maintain awareness of partner policies and standards

To be successful you will have:

an appreciation of intelligence security policies, standards and practices, and ideally intelligence reporting standards, policies and practices
an understanding of government legal and compliance frameworks - doctrine, policies and guidance
an aptitude for both creative and analytical thinking when problem-solving, and the ability to apply intellectual rigour to issues under consideration

Working in a unique and supportive environment, you will have the opportunity to engage with a wide range of customers and partners. You'll bring sound judgement, flexibility and a sense of teamwork in a demanding and unpredictable work environment, which often involves complex problem resolution, and have an aptitude for attention to detail and a commitment to excellence.

The work is interesting and offers the professional and personal satisfaction of being challenging. If this sounds like you apply today!
