The New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS)'s mission is to keep New Zealand and New Zealanders safe and secure.

We collect and analyse intelligence in line with the Government's priorities to provide decision makers with sound national security advice.

We also provide a range of protective security services to other government agencies.


For the first time, NZSIS is excited to offer a Graduate Programme aimed at attracting recently qualified IT professionals keen to contribute to our unique mission.

Successful graduates will join NZSIS's Intelligence Directorate and gain experience working with technology that supports our lawful intercept capability, our enterprise data analysis platform and other projects to build data collection and analysis capabilities.

We work closely with Five Eyes counterparts and our graduates can expect some exposure to partner tools and capabilities in the course of their work with us.


We look for intelligent and enthusiastic IT graduates willing to develop their skills, trial novel technologies and be a part of creative solutions to challenging problems.


We are now hiring for our inaugural 2024 programme; this will suit those with strong skills and/or interest in engineering (data, telecommunications, software and/or systems), data science/analytics or data ethics/governance.


During the 12 month programme you will learn more about the intelligence profession, and use your analytical and problem solving skills across different parts of NZSIS.

Successful graduates will be able to demonstrate the following:

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Proven integrity, discretion and diplomacy
  • Strong critical and analytical skills
  • A team player attitude
  • Proven academic success and broad life skills
  • A strong desire to keep New Zealand and New Zealanders safe
What do we offer?

  • Unique work which involves thinking outside the box and coming up with original creative and analytical solutions.
  • Varied experience you will move through three four month placements with technology teams in ID or the wider intelligence community tailored to your skills and interests.
  • Structured career pathways across a number of areas without the need to change employers.
  • Extra benefits flexible hours for work/life balance, inhouse gym (Wellington), subsidised health insurance and eye checks and an additional six days annual leave.
  • Social and cultural clubs, including our Waiata Group
  • Supportive staff network groups representing our LGBTQI+, Asian, Pasifika, exMilitary and neurodiverse staff, as well as women in intelligence and technical roles,
  • A permanent position at graduate programme completion.

Tips when applying:

- show us your personality,
- share where you would like your career with us to take you,
- what interests you most about working for us, and
- show off your strengths and skills.

You are expected to exercise discretion during the recruitment process and throughout your career.
