Key duties

• Plan and execute intelligence collection aligned with client requirements and operational priorities.

• Conduct advanced open‑source intelligence (OSINT) collection, validation and analysis.

• Produce high‑quality intelligence products including threat assessments, risk profiles, due diligence and investigative reports.

• Deliver clear, structured intelligence assessments and briefings to internal stakeholders and clients.

• Support complex investigations and time‑sensitive tasks with actionable intelligence.

• Provide surge and rapid‑response analytical support during incidents or emerging issues.

Desirable requirements

• Experience using intelligence or OSINT platforms, including link analysis, data visualisation, mapping or monitoring tools, to support complex analytical tasks.

• Practical experience applying structured analytical techniques to support judgement, challenge assumptions and assess risk, not just familiarity with the methodology.

• Working knowledge of geopolitical, security, criminal or reputational threat factors relevant to intelligence or investigative work.

• Experience contributing to travel risk, protective intelligence, executive risk or critical infrastructure‑related assessments.

• A consistent track record of accuracy, attention to detail and quality control across complex analytical products.
