This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the protection of the Ministry of Justice’s (MOJ) technology, systems and services, and the vital information they contain and process.

As a Senior Threat Intelligence Analyst at the MoJ, you will lead the analysis, collection, and dissemination of actionable threat intelligence. Your deep understanding of adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) will help to inform and improve MOJ cybersecurity defences—helping to predict and mitigate against emerging threats.

You will work closely with security engineers, incident response teams, and external partners, translating raw intelligence into strategic insights that drive operational security decisions.
