The role
What an intelligence analyst actually does, day to day.
As an intelligence analyst, you gather information from lots of sources - government reports, news websites, social media - and work out what it tells you about potential threats. You spot patterns that others might miss, and you explain what you've found in clear reports and briefings that leaders can act on.
Your day involves reading documents, comparing facts, using computer tools to organise and spot patterns, and writing reports for police, military and government teams. You might work in an office or a secure government building. You will work with other analysts and professionals to share what you've found and help them understand what's happening. This job means you need to be careful, thorough, and good at explaining complicated things in a simple way.
