Defence Intelligence Analyst

Ambitious Defence Intelligence Analyst wanted to drive real impact in Defence & Government from Nottingham.

The UK's defence sector is under pressure to modernise faster than at any point in the last two decades, and intelligence analysis sits right at the centre of that shift. This role is with an established SME operating in Defence & Government, a business that's grown steadily and now needs a Defence Intelligence Analyst to strengthen how it processes, interprets and acts on sensitive information. It's a genuinely mid-level position with room to build a serious career, not a stepping stone role dressed up as something bigger.

Here's what you'll be doing

Analysing intelligence data from multiple sources and turning raw information into clear, actionable assessments

Producing written reports and briefings for internal stakeholders and, where relevant, government clients

Tracking developments across the defence landscape and flagging risks or opportunities early

Working alongside cross-functional teams to make sure intelligence findings actually inform decisions

Maintaining strict standards around data handling, classification and information security

Supporting senior analysts on longer-running projects while building your own specialist knowledge

Here are the skills you'll need

Proven experience in an intelligence, analytical or defence-related role

Strong written communication skills. You'll need to write clearly under time pressure

Comfort working with classified or sensitive material, and the discretion that comes with it

Analytical thinking that goes beyond the obvious. Good analysts spot what others miss

Eligibility for UK security clearance is essential

A collaborative approach. This isn't a role you do in isolation

Key perks and benefits

Salary of £34,000 to £51,000, depending on experience

Bonus scheme on top of base salary

Private medical insurance and pension contribution

Generous annual leave with flexible working built in

Office-based role in Nottingham, with a structured but genuinely supportive team environment

Why pursue a career in Defence & Government?

Defence and government work rewards precision, and it rewards people who take responsibility seriously. Investment in the sector keeps rising, which means analysts with strong fundamentals will have no shortage of career options over the next decade. Nottingham has quietly become a solid base for defence and public sector employers, and a Defence Intelligence Analyst here gets access to real projects without the overheads of London.
