1975

Since 1975, Brennan has worked for myriad government agencies, including the Department of Health, the Department of Social Security, the Department for Work and Pensions, the Ministry of Defence, and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

Her responsibilities included leadership of the protection of wildlife and the countryside, and leadership of the division's strategy for rural disadvantage.

She led the merging and creation of two new non-departmental public bodies, the restructuring delivery of grants and advice to rural business, and the implementation of a review of rural delivery.

In October 2008, Brennan joined the Ministry of Defence as Second Permanent Under-Secretary.

2010

She was appointed Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Defence in October 2010, replacing Sir William Jeffrey.

As Permanent Secretary, Brennan's responsibilities included acting as joint chief operating officer of the department, responsible for organisation and management, along with Chief of the Defence.

She was also principal accounting officer for the Department of Defence, and as such was accountable to Parliament for the efficient and effective use of department resources.

2011

During her time at the Ministry of Defence, Brennan made headlines when she stated in 2011 that the British military needed to do more to integrate women into the higher ranks, saying, "They need to get on with it, and promote some women... (Women) are not going to hit the nuclear trigger button by mistake."

She also oversaw the 2011 investigation into the conduct of then Minister of Defence Liam Fox, who had allowed his friend Adam Werritty to join him on foreign missions, attend official diplomatic meetings and, despite having no security clearance, visit him repeatedly at the Ministry office.

She replaced Sir Suma Chakrabarti, who left to become president of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

In an interview in July 2012, Brennan spoke again about the need for gender equity in the workplace, saying, "The representation of women at the top levels of the civil service has really changed, but I've worked in departments where even when we got to several women on the board, it just takes a couple of departures and it's gone. You really need a relentless focus as you can think you have won the battle and then you find it's too easy to slip back."
