It's our mission to tackle threats, from terrorism and espionage, to cyber threats and sabotage - a complex yet fascinating task. It's also one that takes all kinds of people, with different perspectives and skills. As a Foundation Analyst, you'll be part of a supportive team, helping to protect the people and places you love.Our Foundation Analysts work with and assess a variety of data, from audio files, to written communications. The details you find will help us to successfully shape investigations. It's incredibly interesting work that has a real impact.

And you'll collaborate with other teams to determine exactly what you're looking for and the data you need to analyse. It means you'll have a clear focus and know which tasks to tackle first. Using your communication skills, you'll share your progress and explain your findings in a clear and logical way. We're not looking for experts - we're looking for potential.
