About the role
We are recruiting Investigation & Intelligence Analysts to be part of the newly established Independent Commission for
Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR). We are looking for Analysts to work as part of the integrated
investigations team. Working as part of this team, the Analyst will support the overall mission of the ICRIR to provide
information to families, victims and survivors of Troubles-related deaths and serious injury, and in doing so fulfil its
principal objective of promoting reconciliation.
As part of the Analysis Unit, the post holder will work under the supervision of the Senior Analyst.
The end-to-end journey of an investigation is all about the people who will eventually benefit from information recovery.
At every stage requesting individuals of families must be able to understand what is happening and what progress is
being made. A key difference to the Commissions approach is that a request must be made before the commission can
carry out its investigations. These requests can include specific questions that the requesting individual or family wish
to see addressed during the investigative work. We will seek answers to questions by examining all existing material,
including that which might not have been disclosed or made public during and previous fact-finding.
The Analyst will have access to and become proficient in interrogating various databases and information sources
utilised by the ICRIR which they will use to complete a range of analytical products to support investigations and
performance.
The Investigation & Intelligence Analyst will also work closely with Senior Investigating Officers (SIOs) and their teams
to assist in identifying and progressing possible lines of enquiry and presenting complex case data.

The postholder will:
• Produce analytical products, written and/or verbal briefings and presentations to the investigations team and Senior
Leadership Team (SLT) to provide clear and precise evidence-based advice and guidance
• Prepare, deliver and present analytical products for use in court proceedings, if required.
• Utilise existing data systems including sensitive national police systems and other open and closed intelligence
