Job description
Flexible Working: Full-time or part-time positions are available, with flexible working options. Working from home is available up to one day per week – this will depend on work requirements, as your access to mission-sensitive systems will be restricted to the office. Compressed hours are also an option, providing flexibility to help maintain a healthy work-life balance.

ABOUT US

MI5, MI6 and GCHQ are the UK’s Intelligence Services. We work together to safeguard Britain’s people, interests, and businesses from various threats at home, overseas and online, including cyber-attacks, espionage, terrorism, and organised crime. Working across our vital missions, you’ll deliver impact at the heart of national security, all within a supportive and inclusive environment that allows everyone to thrive.

THE ROLE

As an Internal Auditor (Technology), you’ll join a skilled team and provide clear, honest insights to help make sure vital systems and services across the UK intelligence community are working as they should.
This isn’t your typical audit role. You’ll be working across MI5, MI6 and GCHQ, providing assurance and advice on the compliance, resilience, and efficiency of operational and mission-critical technology. These systems are cutting edge – often designed to stay ahead of evolving threats – so you’ll grow your expertise in areas like AI, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and specialist operational platforms.
Day to day, you’ll work on a variety of projects, either as part of a small team or independently. Together, you’ll provide customers with high-quality assurance, advisory, and investigatory services along with strengthening and enhancing our internal risk management and governance.
This role can be based in London, Cheltenham or Manchester. If you’re interested, there will also be opportunities to travel within the UK and overseas.
