This role follows a hybrid work schedule and reports to the Global Threat Intelligence Program Manager.
You will:
- Deliver Actionable Intelligence: Author and distribute high-impact tactical and strategic threat intelligence products—such as event threat assessments, predictive outlooks, and situational briefings—focused on the EMEA region.

You have:
- 5+ Years of Analytical Experience: Progressive experience as a dedicated intelligence analyst within a corporate security, government, or specialized risk intelligence environment.
- Collaborative Advisory Mindset: Proven ability to operate as an independent support function, establishing clear boundaries, managing expectations, and providing expert guidance without acting as a direct operational resource.
- Proven Deliverable Track Record: Demonstrated expertise in drafting concise, high-impact written intelligence products (e.g., threat assessments, risk outlooks, leadership briefings) that directly inform operational decision-making.
- Advanced Research Capabilities: Exceptional OSINT skills, critical thinking, and synthesis capabilities, with a proven ability to independently evaluate information validity and analyze complex risks.
- Stakeholder Engagement Skills: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a track record of briefing cross-functional teams and translating threat data for non-security business units.

We prefer:
- Corporate Security Specialization: Prior experience operating within a corporate threat intelligence team for a multinational technology, autonomous vehicle, or transportation company.
- Regional Expertise: Strong baseline understanding of the geopolitical, security, and operational threat landscapes specific to the UK and European markets.
- Domain Leadership Capabilities: Demonstrated experience acting as a regional lead for an intelligence function, with proven success coordinating workflows across cross-functional partners and external intelligence providers.
