Intelligence Analyst-Dublin

Emergent Risk International (ERI) is seeking to hire a full-time Intelligence Analyst to serve as an embedded contract employee within the global security department of one of our multinational corporate clients in the technology sector.

The Threat Intelligence Analyst will have significant experience writing in-depth intelligence reports and possess robust research skills. Prior experience performing intelligence analysis in the government or private sector is preferred. The successful candidate will primarily be responsible for preparing comprehensive, full-scope threat, vulnerability, and risk assessments that inform real estate investment and security mitigation decisions for both new and existing operational sites.

This is a hybrid position that will require occasional work from the client's office; however, most work hours are expected to be performed remotely.

Candidates should be located in Dublin, Ireland. The successful candidate is anticipated to support regular short-term travel opportunities to throughout Europe on an as-needed basis.

The Position: The Threat Intelligence Analyst will be embedded with an ERI client as a member of a global team responsible for compiling security risk assessments.

Threat Intelligence Analysts perform extensive research on regions and localities across the globe for new facilities and operations, as well as those currently operational.

The role requires sound research skills to compile detailed, expertly sourced reports that clearly outline the full scope of threat, vulnerabilities, and risks in the environment alongside comprehensive country/regional analysis. Final reports are expected to exhaust available reporting on geopolitical concerns, crime trends, logistics challenges, environmental trends, and more while distilling key points for the client audience.

This role is best suited for a mid-career intelligence analyst who is passionate about thorough research, in-depth writing, and leveraging data to support analysis, and who enjoys producing comprehensive bodies of work that have an immediate and tangible impact on the client's business.

The ideal candidate will possess experience in intelligence and geopolitical risk analysis in business and/or government, and very strong or expert communication, research, and writing skills.

Additionally, the ideal candidate will have a proven track-history of successfully working independently and producing longer reports that require minimal editing.

• Conducting research using government data, open source, vendor tools, and social/traditional media to provide analysis on threats, vulnerabilities, and risks present in and around the site of new/existing corporate assets and facilities.
• Producing well-informed, concise, relevant, high-quality analysis that displays appropriate context and critical thinking to improve security and business outcomes; written analysis should require minimal editing.
• Understanding, interrogating, and visualizing high-quality data to draw analytic conclusions, and add additional context to analysis and reporting.
• Developing a deep understanding of the client's business operations, value chain, supply chain, services, and assets around the globe, and appropriately represent the global team when interacting with client stakeholders.
• Actively fostering internal and external relationships to facilitate improved information flow and a better understanding of the needs of the business, including working with sector-specific information-sharing groups, private-public partnership, and company employees.
