About the role

This Senior Intelligence Analyst will use advanced tradecraft across all tactical, operational, and strategic intelligence levels to support national security, especially countering terrorism and violent extremism.

The Senior Intelligence Analyst will usually deal with investigators, but sometimes decision makers to the highest level. The role is part of a small team but will often work independently, flexibly, with initiative, dealing with ambiguous information and an evolving work situation. This includes reacting to urgent requirements or changes on occasion. Enthusiasm, willingness, and a good work ethic will be invaluable attitudes to apply every day in this role. We are looking for people who are self-motivated, innovative, inquisitive, committed to excellence, resilient, and firmly focussed on enhancing decision-making within NZ Police through the provision of timely, accurate and relevant intelligence.
