The successful candidate will need strong analytical judgement, discretion, attention to detail and the ability to turn information into clear operational insight for protective security teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor open source, media, social media and other relevant information sources for threats, incidents or developments that may affect clients, family members, residences, movements, events or wider protective security operations.

• Assist with the preparation and maintenance of SOPs, post orders, site packs, briefing notes, escalation procedures and operational documentation.
• Coordinate with CPOs, RST personnel, Security Advisors, site teams and internal stakeholders to gather information, confirm details and support effective reporting.
• Support regular reviews of protective security delivery, including incident trends, operational gaps, information requirements and areas for improvement.
• Handle sensitive client and operational information with discretion, accuracy and appropriate information security standards.
• Support compliance, assurance and administrative activity where required, including training records, deployment records, documentation checks and evidence collation.
• Provide practical analytical support to proposals, renewals, client reviews and new project mobilisation where required.

Essential Requirements

• Experience in intelligence analysis, security analysis, protective security, corporate security, risk management, law enforcement, military intelligence or a comparable analytical role.
• Experience producing security, intelligence, threat assessment, protective intelligence, OSINT or risk reporting for operational security, protective security, law enforcement, military, corporate security or private client stakeholders.

• Good understanding of threat assessment, protective security, hostile reconnaissance, surveillance awareness and incident reporting.
• Ability to monitor information sources, identify relevant developments and assess their potential impact on clients, residences, movements or operations.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage sensitive information accurately and discreetly.
• Good judgement, maturity and discretion when working in sensitive private client environments.
• Ability to work effectively with operational teams, analysts, managers and external stakeholders.
• Strong organisational skills, including the ability to manage competing tasks, deadlines and information requirements.
• Confidence using Microsoft Office, online research tools and basic data management processes.
• Ability to work from a London office and travel occasionally to client sites when required.

Desirable

• Experience supporting UHNW, private client, executive protection, residential security or sensitive corporate security operations.

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for a calm, discreet and detail focused analyst who can support protective security delivery across multiple sensitive client projects.

The right person will understand that intelligence in this environment must be practical, timely and useful to those managing risk on the ground. They will be able to turn information into clear protective security insight, support busy operational teams, communicate professionally and maintain high standards of confidentiality.

This role would suit someone who understands both analysis and operational security, and who can help clients feel safe without unnecessary visibility or disruption.
