About the Role

As an OSINT practitioner with project and change management expertise, you’ll enable a Defence Intelligence capability ranging from client requirements capture and solution identification to capability integration and compliance. This is a customer‑facing role where your work will directly support UK Defence and national security priorities. You’ll join a collaborative team where your experience, skills and curiosity are nurtured through structured development, mentoring and hands‑on delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Use your OSINT experience to provide day to day direct support that will enhance intelligence operations.
• Engage directly with the MOD client to understand requirements and deliver tailored solutions.
• Capture processes, ways of working and workflows to realise business benefit.
• Engage directly with existing MOD Contractors and commercial third parties to understand OSINT capabilities, horizon scan and develop integration pathways.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to support project delivery and innovation.
• Produce clear documentation for expert and non-expert stakeholders.

Essential Skills & Qualifications

• Expertise in Open‑Source Intelligence collection, processing and analysis.
• Experience across the OSINT collection–processing–exploitation lifecycle (public or commercial sector).
• Certified Agile PM (or equivalent).
• Excellent written/verbal communication, public speaking and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Proficiency with Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
• Eligible for UK DV security clearance (or currently holding DV). (See Security & Residency.)



Desirable Skills

• Strong foundation in data analysis, statistics and visualisation.
• Certified Scrum Master or Change Management experience.
• Fluent in Power BI.
• Experienced in the application of systems thinking and organisational design.
• Experience working in Defence, National Security and/or Government.

Security & Residency

This role requires eligibility for UK Developed Vetting (DV) due to frequent access to sensitive Defence information. Applicants should normally have been resident in the UK for the past ~10 years to enable meaningful checks; a lack of full UK residency is not automatically a bar but may affect eligibility. We will sponsor the appropriate clearance for the successful candidate. Right to work in the UK is required.

If a specific client site genuinely mandates UK nationality for this appointment, we’ll clarify this for shortlisted candidates. Any such requirement is applied solely to comply with national‑security obligations and client policy.

What We Offer

• A competitive salary based upon experience.
• Opportunities to work on high-priority UK Government, real-world projects.
• Inclusive and collaborative culture with a focus on innovation and continuous learning.
• Flexible benefits covering health, wellbeing, EV car scheme, pension scheme, 25 days paid holiday.
• MAIAR actively supports Reservists, Veterans, and the wider Armed Forces community through flexible policies and a commitment to their valuable contribution.

Equal Opportunities

MAIAR is an equal opportunities employer. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates who meet the role requirements and DV eligibility. Selection decisions are based on skills, experience and suitability for the role.
