Border Security Command works to disrupt and dismantle organised immigration crime, including organised criminal gangs. We reduce illicit goods and irregular migration and deliver detection and interception at the border. We safeguard people exploited through trafficking and smuggling and help build public confidence in the UK’s border security.

The Joint Maritime Security Centre (JMSC) is a multi‑agency, military‑civil organisation hosted by the Home Office that acts as the UK government’s centre of excellence for maritime security. Its mission is to increase awareness and understanding of maritime security threats and enable cross‑government coordination to deliver a whole‑system response to mitigate them.

You will report to and take direction from their respective Senior Intelligence Analyst. You will collate and consolidate sanctions‑related data and analysis, from across the national and international intelligence communities, at all levels of security classification, to deliver comprehensive understanding related to global maritime shadow fleet activity.

As the potential first point of contact for emerging maritime events you will be expected to apply sound judgement and escalate issues to senior leaders to enable an effective and timely response.

• Developed Vetting (DV) clearance required.
• Apply analytical skills independently to complex work, selecting appropriate methods, exercising sound judgement, and meeting standards and deadlines with an element of supervision.
• Understand how your analysis contributes to wider UK sanctions objectives, strengthening organisational decision‑making and improving the collective picture of sanctions‑evasion and associated maritime risk.
• Build and maintain strong domestic and international stakeholder relationships, supporting coherent understanding across intelligence, policy and operational partners.
• Use creative and critical thinking to produce high‑quality assessments, applying structured analytical techniques and clearly articulating how key judgements have been reached.
• Communicate complex matters clearly and concisely, presenting your reasoning visually, verbally and in writing to support high‑quality briefing and decision‑making.
