About The Role

We are seeking an Intelligence Analyst I to join a six-person security intelligence team supporting a 24/7 global security operation.

• Research risks associated with employee travel and international events. For example, assess potential security concerns for employees traveling to an area affected by a natural disaster, political instability, civil unrest, or other significant event.
• Produce intelligence reports on major geopolitical issues as well as isolated incidents, including threats or concerning social media activity involving company personnel or assets.
• Serve as an information-gathering and communications hub during security and safety incidents.
• Support the development and maintenance of information and knowledge-management tools and processes within the Global Security Operations Center.
• Monitor physical security access-control systems and respond appropriately to alarms, breaches, malfunctions, and other security events as needed.
• Assist onsite contract security personnel when required.
• Communicate clearly and effectively with corporate functions, business units, security personnel, and leadership.

• Familiarity with major geopolitical issues and international security developments.
• Ability to evaluate information from multiple sources and identify relevant threats, risks, and trends.

Preferred Qualifications

• Beginner to intermediate experience with video monitoring, access control, and alarm monitoring applications, preferably Lenel/OnGuard.

• Experience using a traveler tracking system.
• Experience with geographic information systems (GIS) and/or data visualization tools.
