Business Analyst – National Security

Location: Cheltenham
Salary: Competitive (dependent on experience)
Clearance: Active eDV required
Working: Flexible / hybrid

The Opportunity

We’re currently working with a number of organisations looking for eDV-cleared Business Analysts to join high-impact teams across the National Security sector.

There are two particularly interesting opportunities depending on the environment you’re looking for:

🚀 Small & Agile Technology Business

Join a growing, specialist business working on mission-critical National Security projects, where you’ll have genuine ownership, less red tape and the opportunity to shape how the organisation develops.

This would suit a BA who enjoys working closely with talented technical teams, taking ownership of problems and having a real say in how solutions are shaped and delivered.

🏢 Established Consultancies

We’re also working with several established consultancies operating right at the “pointy end” of customer missions.

You’ll work alongside experienced consultants and technical specialists on some of the UK’s most sensitive and impactful programmes. These are excellent opportunities for someone who wants meaningful work, strong career development and some big names on their CV.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience working as a Business Analyst within complex environments

• Strong requirements gathering, analysis and stakeholder management skills

• Ability to translate complex business or user needs into clear, actionable requirements

• Experience working with technical and delivery teams

• Strong communication skills and the ability to operate confidently with senior stakeholders

• Experience within National Security, Defence or Government is highly desirable

• Active eDV clearance is essential

Why Consider These Opportunities?

The Cheltenham National Security market is incredibly active, with opportunities across start-ups, specialist SMEs and established consultancies.

Depending on what you’re looking for, you could find yourself with:

• Greater autonomy and influence in a small, agile business

• The structure, scale and progression of an established consultancy

• Access to genuinely mission-critical programmes

• Highly talented technical and consulting teams

• Flexible working and competitive packages

• The chance to build experience on some of the UK’s most interesting National Security programmes

If you’re an eDV-cleared Business Analyst considering your next move, I’d be happy to have a confidential conversation about what’s currently available.
