Department Technology Roles Location(s) Central London Salary £67,862 - £73,258 dependent on skills and experience (pay package includes basic salary and skills-related payment) Job description
Flexible Working: We support a range of working patterns, full-time, part-time, (minimum 3 days) compressed hours and job shares. Due to the nature of the role homeworking will not be possible.
About Us
MI5 and MI6 are part of the UK’s Intelligence Services. We work together to safeguard Britain’s people, interests, and businesses from various threats at home, overseas and online, including cyber-attacks, espionage, terrorism, and organised crime. Working across our vital missions, you’ll deliver impact at the heart of national security, all within a supportive and inclusive environment that allows everyone to thrive.
The Role
Technology and transformation are at the forefront of everything we do. As a Senior Business Analyst, you’ll help us stay ahead by evolving our business processes and playing a key role in our digital mission. You’ll do this by understanding our unique problems as well as working on technology-focused project delivery and organisational transformation to deliver the services we need for the future.
You’ll work as part of a multi-disciplinary team, getting to grips with a range of complex business problems as you collaborate with colleagues to understand needs, challenges, and opportunities.
You’ll review business processes always looking for ways to optimise and engage with stakeholders to refine requirements. Using modelling techniques to structure and understand the data and convert this into valuable information, while identifying and measuring the impact of change.
You’ll achieve all this by working with key stakeholders to meet user needs, communicating with a variety of people, and using your evidence to support and explain key decisions. Always ensuring the proposed solution aligns with business goals and objectives and achieves the required outcomes and expected benefits. You’ll also undertake impact analysis, drawing together themes, making recommendations, and defining criteria for the success of a product or programme before measuring its delivery.
As a Senior Business Analyst, you’ll work on larger projects, managing a team alongside identifying and understanding customer business outcomes and translating these into senior-level reporting. You’ll frame problems and set priorities for your team, growing them through recruitment and upskilling. Importantly you’ll be the kind of person who is approachable and friendly, and with a passion for sharing knowledge, no matter if it’s a customer or a colleague. You’ll demonstrate leadership qualities, supporting others to upskill and build their career in an inclusive environment.
About You
As a Senior Business Analyst, you’ll have led the analysis of large or complex business problems. And as a skilled practitioner, you’ll already have extensive experience or one of the recognised BA certifications such as the BCS (British Computer Society) or IIBA (International Institute of Business Analysis). You’ll be able to recommend and advise on approaches to complex business problems, inform tactical decision making, share knowledge, and deliver workshops.
You’ll have experience in defining and shaping problems while working with a wide range of stakeholders to meet customer needs. You’ll also have experience with delivery methodologies such as Waterfall or Agile, showing how you’ve embedded change within an organisation and used quantitative and qualitative data to turn user focus into business outcomes.
You’ll have experience of adapting quickly in an ambiguous problem space; applying different methodologies to explore unknowns and test hypotheses, for example using Design Thinking, Lean Start-up, Hypothesis Testing, and others. This is an exciting opportunity to apply your experience of working in wider innovation eco-systems and aptitude to being a trusted partner to problem owners, helping them navigate through the innovation system and maximise the value from it. You can retain a coherent view of the bigger picture and how teams, people and innovation fit into it as a system.
You’ll be able to communicate complex matters succinctly, influencing people as you work in politically sensitive areas and adapt to complex or uncertain situations. Importantly, you’ll be motivated and proactive, with the ability to plan for the short and long term. You’ll also line manage a small team and play a key part in helping less experienced colleagues develop by stretching their abilities while giving them the support they need to grow.
Training and Development
When you join us, you’ll have a full induction to the organisation, which will help you get to grips with how we operate. You’ll then have a team induction to give you a rounded understanding of your role, followed by on-the-job training to help you settle in.
We’re committed to developing our staff and recognise this will look different for everyone. We’ll use the Government Digital and Data Profession Capability framework (formerly known as Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) Profession Capability Framework) as a compass to provide guidance and tools to support you, so there’ll be lots of tailored training, coaching, and mentoring. And we’ll cover the cost and provide you with the time and support to gain professional qualifications and certifications and pursue specialist business analysis pathways. Whatever your professional goals, we’ll work with you to build the skills you need to excel at your role and throughout your career.
As you develop, grow, and maintain your technical skills, you’ll progress through the Government Digital and Data Profession capability framework pay points. You’ll need to regularly demonstrate and accredit your skills based on the framework.

Equal Opportunities
At MI5 and 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.
