We're MI6, also known as the Secret intelligence Service, or 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.
As an Information and Data Management Officer, you’ll work with unique and critical intelligence, maximise its impact, and actively contribute to our vital mission. Drawing on your experience, you’ll share knowledge as you support our Data, Information Management and Compliance community and help drive business outcomes, as well as inform key decision-making.
Every day, you’ll be exposed to a wide range of interesting and unusual information, have the chance to collaborate with highly skilled teams, and engage with partners and customers to meet business requirements. Your role will be to help implement best practice and impart your existing expertise to enhance the value of our information.
You’ll offer support to wider customer teams within the organisation, using your influence to advise and empower colleagues to make effective decisions. You’ll also have opportunities to drive excellence in information management behaviours across our organisations through training.
To apply, you’ll have a qualification in information, records, or data management. Or you’ll hold a professional accreditation/chartership with the Information Records Management Society, Chartered Institute of Library and Information professionals, or the Archives and Records Association. And, as well as being an effective member of a team, you’ll be a proactive problem-solver, able to think up practical solutions to a variety of unique problems.
When you join us, you’ll attend an organisation and section-specific induction to help you settle in and get to know the requirements of your role. You’ll be welcomed into an inclusive, supportive environment that creates impact on a national scale. And from day one, you’ll be empowered to drive your career with access to plenty of opportunities to develop new skills and work towards or maintain professional accreditation. This is an exciting time to join a diverse and welcoming function operating at the heart of national security.
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.
