The Risk Intelligence Consultant is a role within the Risk Intelligence Center (RIC). The role is responsible for supporting the delivery of intelligence products and services in response to organizational and decision-specific requirements.

The role is suited to someone with 3-5 years’ experience in intelligence and / or investigations and associated protective services (i.e. corporate security / travel security / crisis management). Direct experience in an operational role and customer facing responsibilities is essential.  The ideal candidate would have previous experience in private sector intelligence; however, this is not essential for a candidate who can evidence a robust understanding of customer requirements.

The primary focus of the Risk Intelligence Consultant is to support the delivery and development of requests for intelligence (RFI) in response to reactive and proactive intelligence requirements. This includes working closely with the Lead Risk Intelligence Consultant to deliver on standard RFIs as well as complex and challenging customer RFIs.

The role reports directly into the Global Intelligence Manager, and requires strong intelligence acumen, understanding of customer requirements, relationship building and networking skills, strong research, analytical and report writing skills, in addition to proficiency in IT systems, including Microsoft Office and specific intelligence tools.

Working within a dynamic and demanding environment, the role requires flexibility and agility, including mobilising on short notice to meet operational requirements, and some evening and weekend work. The role is Monday – Friday with evening and weekend cover as appropriate based on customer RFIs. Travel may be required to visit customers and external events on occasion. Responsibilities will evolve over time, with opportunities for ongoing development and progression.
