  • Utilize open-source intelligence (OSINT) techniques and internal tools to identify and document associations between referred activity and customer accounts
  • Determine and document triage outcomes (e.g., assignment created, no exposure, exposure but covered, exposure but no activity) and update tracking systems accordingly
  • Route accepted referrals by creating investigation cases with appropriate tags (patterns, origins, products) and assigning to the correct investigative queues
  • Process employee/contractor referrals with appropriate sensitivity handling and restricted queue routing
  • Support post-SAR law enforcement outreach by collecting SAR-related metadata and escalating to team leads for formal dissemination
  • Maintain accurate records across all intake trackers and assignment logs

• Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills for tracking high volumes of requests and referrals
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Comfort working within structured workflows and documenting decisions with clear rationale
