£25,792 per annum (pro-rated over 11-week programme £5,157.60)

Technology sits at the heart of everything we do at MI5, enabling us to disrupt  serious threats to UK national security. We’re currently looking for students who want to learn from experienced Business Analysts working within our pioneering Technology department, to work on a project for an 11-week summer placement.

The Role
As a Business Analyst, you’ll help build the technology that XXX needs to keep the country safe today and tomorrow. To achieve this, we connect the customers (e.g. Investigators) with the Technologists to build tools that solve problems.

You’ll work with MI5’s Investigators or Analysts to understand their challenges and requirements for new solutions to improve MI5’s capabilities, effectiveness or efficiency. You’ll elicit business requirements, assist in designing processes, commission new software or make changes to existing tools to deliver the improvements you’ve identified. You’ll work closely with Software Engineers and project teams to explain the business problems and ensure the solution created is suitable and effective by directing their work, designing user interfaces and organising testing. By the end of your placement the output of your work could already be in use by our staff working on national security investigations.

Key Responsibilities
•    Engage with customer groups of varying seniority to elicit detailed requirements, gain their views and complete user acceptance testing
•    Write documents, slides or flowcharts to communicate technical concepts to various audiences, including the project team
•    Liaise with Software Engineers and expert partners to communicate the customers’ requirements and verify that solutions meet the specification
•    Enhance your technical skills during the Internship by learning from our talented cadre of staff
•    Gain experience working in diverse teams within a wider Engineering department

The Person
For success in this role you’ll have, or be expecting to achieve by Autumn 2021, at least a 2:2 in your degree.

No prior experience in Business Analysis is required, but a desire to solve problems, a logical approach, great communication skills (verbally and in writing) and a technical aptitude are all essential. We’ll teach you the rest.
