Job description

The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) is an executive non-departmental public body of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

Driven by government’s aim for clean, healthy, safe, productive and biologically diverse oceans and seas, MMO’s purpose is to protect and enhance our precious marine environment and support UK economic growth by enabling sustainable marine activities and development.

We are the independent regulator for England’s seas, professionally delivering service-focussed outcomes for our customers. 

We are a team of around 400 people and combine our Newcastle upon Tyne and London operations with a local presence around the English coastline in Brixham, Beverley, Harwich, Hastings, Lowestoft, North Shields, Hayle, Plymouth, Poole, Portsmouth, Preston, Scarborough, Shoreham, Whitehaven. 

Within the MMO, the Global Marine Team focuses on providing advice and guidance to a range of international stakeholders including many of the UK overseas Territories.

More information about our work is on the GOV.UK website.

One of the main threats posed to the protection of the marine environments around the UK Overseas Territories (UKOTs) and countries within the Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) is Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. The Global Marine team’s Compliance and Enforcement (C & E) unit provides advice and support to the UKOTs and OCPP countries to address illegal activity through remote surveillance and monitoring. Typically using satellite-based technologies, the team has been a partner in the flagship Blue Belt Programme, which is delivering the UK government’s commitment to protect over 4 million square km of ocean through a network of marine protected areas (MPAs) and management strategies.​

​Large amounts of data are available that have significant potential to help inform the UKOTs and OCPP countries and support compliance and enforcement activity. As an Intelligence Analyst you will be responsible for the review, development and analysis of a wide range of data available both internally and externally. You will work in a team to produce and disseminate intelligence that will support the C & E unit, the UKOTs and OCPP countries in their operational delivery and decision making.​

​As an Intelligence Analyst you will be responsible for the reviewing, developing, analysing, and disseminating onwards of information and intelligence received by the MMO in relation to suspected illegal activity connected with the Blue Belt UK-OTs or countries being assisted through the OCCP.
