About the job

Job summary

We're MI6, also known as the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS). Our mission is to protect the security and economic wellbeing of the UK from overseas threats such as regional instability, terrorism, and cyber-attacks. Working across the globe and in close partnership with MI5 and GCHQ, we help the Government to counter these threats through the provision of secret intelligence. A role in MI6 will see you providing vital support to this work, within a supportive and encouraging environment that puts the emphasis on teamwork.

Job description

As a Technical Risk Adviser, youll apply your technical expertise and business activities to help operational teams make informed decisions when using technology in complex and often time-critical scenarios. Youll assess whether proposed tools, techniques or approaches are secure, proportionate and aligned with mission needs, balancing potential risk against operational impact. Youll also contribute to the requirements and designs for technical systems, providing expert advice on risks, and techniques and systems to manage these appropriately.

Working closely with mission teams in the UK and overseas, youll support activity where technology and cyber capabilities are central to delivery, helping teams understand cyber risks and opportunities and producing tailored plans. With specialist training, this is a role that will combine technical breadth with practical influence. Youll assess solutions across areas such as cyber security, networking, hardware, cryptography and penetration testing, using a structured, analytical approach to identify risks. Youll provide decision makers and risk owners with advice on the technical aspects of incidents, including the impacts and appropriate responses. Additionally, youll work directly with engineers and stakeholders to develop pragmatic solutions that enable delivery while managing those risks effectively.

Incident response is also a key part of the role, including advising on impact, containment and remediation, and helping teams learn and adapt. Youll research and learn about relevant technologies, business activities, and the context in which the organisation operates, to stay up-to-date and ensure that advice is relevant and coherent. Alongside this youll produce educational material, such as blogs or a presentation, to share knowledge and expertise about an issue with the organisation.

Person specification

Youll bring a strong technical background, with experience in cyber security or related disciplines such as network engineering, penetration testing, vulnerability research, systems architecture or technical capability development.

Crucially, this experience must have been gained within a national security or intelligence environment, giving you an understanding of the operational context and the importance of managing risk in sensitive scenarios.

Youre comfortable with analysing complex technical problems, identifying key risks and making balanced judgements, often with incomplete information. Just as importantly, you can communicate effectively and persuasively in speech and writing. You'll need to be able to persuade your audience, drawing out key points from complex technical scenarios and articulate your reasoning in terms that resonate with your audience, who often won't be technologists.

Curious and adaptable, you enjoy working across a broad range of challenges and can quickly apply your knowledge in new contexts. You collaborate effectively with others, build trust with stakeholders and take a pragmatic, proportionate approach to solving problems while keeping security, safety and operational outcomes in mind.

Benefits

Training and development
At MI6, were proud to offer an inclusive and supportive working environment. We value and nurture talent, and were committed to helping you fulfil your potential.

Once in your role, youll have access to a broad range of learning opportunities, including industry-recognised certifications, internal courses and self-directed study, with time set aside to support this. Youll also learn through exposure to real operational challenges, gradually taking on more complex work as your experience grows.

Theres a comprehensive training and development pathway on offer, which uses the Government Digital and Data Profession Capability Framework (GDDPCF). It includes tailored training, coaching and mentoring, alongside opportunities to gain qualifications and pursue specialist Agile Delivery pathways, if this interests you.

Support is embedded throughout, with input from your line manager, mentors and colleagues. As you progress, there are opportunities to deepen your expertise, broaden your technical knowledge or develop into more senior advisory roles.

Rewards and benefits
Youll receive a starting salary of between £80,875 - £94,754 in London or £75,882 - £89,010 in Cheltenham plus other benefits including:

25 Days Annual Leave automatically rising to 30 days after 5 years' service, and an additional 10.5 days public and privilege holidays
opportunities to be recognised through our employee performance scheme
an interest-free season ticket loan
an excellent pension scheme
a cycle to work scheme
facilities such as a gym, restaurant, and on-site coffee bars (at some locations)

Equal opportunities
At MI6 diversity and inclusion are critical to our mission. To protect the UK, we need a truly diverse workforce that reflects the society we serve. This includes diversity in every sense of the word: those with different backgrounds, ages, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, ways of thinking and those with disabilities or neurodivergent conditions. We therefore welcome and encourage applications from everyone, including those from groups that are under-represented in our workforce such as women, those from an ethnic minority background, people with disabilities and those from low socio-economic backgrounds.

Find out more about our culture, working environment and diversity on our website.
