About the Role
GCHQ is an intelligence, cyber and security agency dedicated to keeping the UK safe by using cutting-edge technology, ingenuity and partnerships to identify, analyse and disrupt threats. The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), part of GCHQ, is the UK Government’s lead authority on cyber security, aiming to make the UK the safest place to live and work online.

This role is within the NCSC’s National Resilience Directorate, specifically the Economy and Society Resilience Team.

Your work will support the E&S team's outcomes to ensure organisations make better cyber decisions and reduce the number of cyber-attacks reaching potential victims. Responsibilities include increasing cyber resilience through collaboration with business representative organisations, building partnerships with industry, law enforcement and other stakeholders, informing government policy on cyber resilience, developing protective capabilities, and continuously developing your own skills while supporting others within E&S.
