You will serve as a trusted intelligence partner to Global Security, Data Center Security, Executive Protection, Supply Chain Security, and business leadership teams, delivering actionable intelligence that informs operational decisions, protects personnel and infrastructure, and supports international growth.

This role requires strong analytical judgment, technical aptitude, and the ability to independently drive strategic and operational intelligence initiatives in a fast-moving environment. This role is best suited for individuals who thrive in high-ambiguity, high-ownership environments and are comfortable supporting rapidly evolving global operations.

About the Role:

  • Design and automate intelligence workflows, alerting mechanisms, and analytical tooling to improve early warning, monitoring, and decision support capabilities.
  • Support supply chain resilience efforts by identifying geopolitical, regional, logistical, and infrastructure-related risks that could impact operations, vendors, personnel, or critical dependencies.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Global Security, Legal, Supply Chain, Strategy, Infrastructure, and business leadership teams to operationalize intelligence and support risk-informed decision making.
  • Conduct post-incident analysis and lessons-learned reviews following geopolitical events, operational disruptions, or security incidents.
  • Establish best practices, technical standards, and scalable processes for geopolitical and operational threat intelligence.
  • Serve as a subject matter expert on geopolitical risk, strategic warning, and intelligence-driven security operations.
  • Maintain relationships with external intelligence vendors, industry peers, academic institutions, and government or law enforcement partners, where appropriate.
  • Mentor and guide junior analysts or engineers, share domain knowledge, and contribute to continuous improvement of the team.

Who You Are:

  • Bachelor's degree in International Relations, Security Studies, Political Science, Intelligence Studies, Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent. Advanced degree preferred.
  • 7+ years of experience in threat intelligence, supply chain security, geopolitical risk analysis, or related domain.
  • Strong command of the threat intelligence lifecycle: requirements development, collection, processing, analysis, production, dissemination, feedback.
  • Deep knowledge of geopolitical risk, state instability, terrorism, organized crime, and regional dynamics.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience producing executive-level briefings, analytical products, and actionable risk assessments for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strong judgment, intellectual autonomy, and ability to manage ambiguous, fast-evolving environments.
  • Willingness to travel (regional or international) when required to support field operations or site assessments.

Preferred:

  • Experience supporting critical infrastructure, hyperscale environments, technology companies, or global corporate security programs.
  • Experience with intelligence automation, APIs, scripting, or data engineering using Python, SQL, or related technologies.
  • Experience supporting supply chain teams, market entry assessments, protective intelligence, or global crisis management programs.
  • Certifications such as Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (CTIA), GIAC (GISP, GCTI), or relevant government/intel community credentials.
