Job Description In Primary Posting Language (Include Requirements For Education, Experience And Skills)

As a core member of the Intelligence Operations Center (IOC) within the broader Resiliency Center, the Intelligence Analyst applies analytical tradecraft to identify, assess, and forecast security risks that could impact our Company’s people, assets, and operations.

Flexibly adapt to and manage rotating intelligence accounts, developing deep subject matter expertise across various threat vectors to support evolving operational needs.

Draft and present intelligence products, including tactical flash alerts, deep-dive strategic assessments, and threat horizon forecasts, tailored for security leadership and enterprise stakeholders.

Leverage Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT), specialized threat platforms, and internal data sets to identify early indicators of physical security, operational, geopolitical, or reputational risk.

Provide dedicated analytical support to the Resiliency Center’s 24/7 watch desk and incident management teams during emerging global crises or targeted threat escalations.

Partner cross-functionally with legal, human resources, cybersecurity, and regional security teams to deliver tailored intelligence support that enables safe, uninterrupted business operations.

Perform other duties as assigned or as required based on the evolving needs of our Company.
