This role is ideal for an analyst who can move confidently between
strategic risk forecasting and tactical support, communicate clearly with protection leaders, and maintain analytic rigor under time pressure.
Key Responsibilities
Intelligence Production & Risk Assessment
- Produce travel, event, and location risk assessments (city/country, venue/event, route/area) tailored to the protective mission and client risk tolerance.
- Deliver written intelligence products including pre-trip briefs, threat assessments, incident summaries, stakeholder profiles, and after-action intelligence notes.
- Provide real-time security status monitoring during high-risk travel, events, or emerging incidents; update protection teams with actionable changes and recommended mitigations.
Threat Monitoring, Triage, and Escalation
- Monitor global and regional intelligence sources to identify emerging threats and hazards impacting clients (e.g., protests, crime patterns, targeted violence, extremist activity, stalking/harassment, doxxing, brand-driven threats, insider concerns).
- Triage and prioritize threats in real time; develop and maintain clear escalation thresholds and notification workflows.
- Support urgent intelligence requirements during crises or major events with clear, timely tactical reporting and decision support.
OSINT Collection, Investigations, and Targeted Research
- Conduct OSINT research across surface web and social platforms; where authorized, support deep/dark web monitoring aligned with policy, law, and client approvals.
- Investigate threat actors and suspicious communications; map behaviors, TTPs, and indicators; contribute to attribution and behavioral assessment when appropriate.
- Support protective intelligence investigations involving fixation/stalking, impersonation, online harassment, suspicious inquiries, and information leakage.
Stakeholder Support & Operational Integration
- Integrate internal and external data sources (client inputs, protection team observations, vendor reporting, law enforcement liaison, open sources) into a coherent intelligence picture.
- Partner closely with EP leaders, advance teams, RS teams, and operations staff to support
- Advance planning (venues, routes, hotels, medical, communications)
- Residential security support
- Event security intelligence planning
- Continuously assess stakeholder intelligence needs and refine collection plans and products accordingly.
Program Standards, Tools, and Information Management
- Maintain strong intelligence tradecraft standards (source evaluation, structured analytic techniques when appropriate, confidence levels, documentation).
- Help implement and improve intelligence workflows: case management, report templates, distribution controls, retention rules, and operational security.
- Contribute to training protection personnel on relevant topics (pre-incident indicators, suspicious activity reporting, digital exposure basics, reporting standards).
Required Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience in protective intelligence, threat intelligence, investigations, EP support, or a closely related role.
- Demonstrable experience conducting OSINT research and producing written intelligence products (assessments, briefs, reports).
- Strong ability to triage and prioritize multiple issues under time pressure with sound judgment and documented rationale.
- Experience monitoring and assessing threats related to physical security, including targeted violence, harassment, protests, crime trends, and travel risk.
- Familiarity with OSINT methods including social media monitoring and online communities; experience with illicit community research is a plus.
- Strong written communication: ability to turn complex information into clear, actionable recommendations for operators and executives.
- Professionalism with sensitive information; proven discretion and adherence to need-to-know and client confidentiality.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience supporting executive protection operations for corporate executives, UHNW principals, or family offices.
- Experience investigating fixation/stalking dynamics and producing threat profiles.
- Exposure to geopolitical, cyber-enabled physical threats, and violent actor-related intelligence (as it affects protective operations).
- Strong briefing skills; ability to present to senior stakeholders calmly and clearly.
- Familiarity with analytic tradecraft standards (confidence language, key assumptions, alternative analysis).
- Experience building SOPs, templates, and repeatable intelligence workflows.
