Join a startup Defence & Government company as a Security Intelligence Analyst in Birmingham.
Threat landscapes in the defence sector shift fast, and the organisations tracking them need people who can spot patterns before they become problems. This is a lean, fast-moving Defence & Government startup building intelligence capability from the ground up. Growth has been rapid, decisions get made quickly, and a Security Intelligence Analyst joining now will shape how the team works, not just fit into an existing process.
Here’s what you’ll be doing:
Monitor open-source and classified intelligence feeds to identify emerging threats relevant to government and defence clients
Produce clear, actionable intelligence reports for stakeholders who need answers, not jargon
Analyse patterns across large datasets to flag risks before they elevate
Work directly with technical and operational teams to translate findings into practical security measures
Support briefings and assessments for clients across the defence and public sector space
Help build out intelligence processes and tools as the company scales
Here are the skills you’ll need:
Solid experience in a security intelligence, threat analysis, or related analytical role
Familiarity with intelligence frameworks and open-source intelligence (OSINT) methods
Ability to write clearly and concisely under time pressure
Comfort working in a startup environment where priorities can change overnight
Eligibility for security clearance (existing SC or DV clearance is a strong advantage)
A genuine interest in defence and government affairs, not just the technical side
Key perks and benefits:
Salary of £37,500 to £49,500, depending on experience
Equity and stock options, so you share in what you help build
Flexible working hours around a core office day in Birmingham
Learning and development budget to keep sharpening your craft
A flat structure where your ideas reach decision-makers directly, not through five layers of management
Why pursue a career in Defence & Government?
Defence and government work rarely stands still. Budgets are growing, threats are evolving, and demand for skilled analysts is only going one way. Birmingham has quietly become a serious hub for this kind of work, with strong transport links and a growing cluster of firms serving the sector. Progression tends to come quickly for people who show good judgement under pressure, and few roles reward that as directly as this one.
