Intelligence Officer

Intelligence Officers (IOs) work in the UK and overseas to recruit, talk to and task people who can help us find out secret information, and we call these people agents. We work with agents and run technical operations to acquire the secret intelligence needed by the UK Government. An IO career in MI6 offers a wide range of fascinating operational roles, both overseas and in the UK. We are looking for talented individuals to join us with the potential to become the IOs of the future. We do not expect you to have IO skills yet – we'll train you in those – but we are looking for potential. You'll need to bring great interpersonal skills, an interest in foreign cultures and technology, a keenness to learn and a desire to keep our country and allies safe, secure and prosperous.

MI6, also known as the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), is the United Kingdom's security and intelligence agency responsible for protecting the UK's interests abroad. It is one of the three principal intelligence agencies of the UK, alongside the Security Service (MI5) and Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ).
