As a Senior Threat Intelligence Engineer focused on physical security and geopolitical risks, you will lead in the collection, engineering, analysis, and dissemination of threat intelligence to support corporate security, data center security, travel risk, supply chain security, and protective operations globally. You will bring domain expertise in geopolitics, terrorism, instability, and transnational threat actors and independently deliver high‑impact intelligence to cross‑functional stakeholders.

• Identify and manage intelligence pipelines and analytical tooling to integrate geospatial, open‑source (OSINT), proprietary, and commercial threat feeds.
• Monitor global events, conflict zones, transnational crime, terrorism, civil unrest, political instability, and state‑sponsored threats, translating them into risk assessments relevant to business operations and personnel.
• Produce forward‑looking threat intelligence products: strategic forecasts, operational risk alerts, incident briefs, heat maps, geospatial overlays, and dashboards.
• Serve as a partner to global security, resilience, executive protection, data center security, supply chain security, and other business units to contextualize and operationalize intelligence.
• Automate early warning systems (alerts, triggers, thresholds) and integrate threat intelligence directly into security and business operations workflows.
• Conduct post‑incident analyses and drive lessons learned to improve detection, alerting, and mitigation processes.
• Establish and own technical standards, architectural design, and best practices for threat intelligence systems.
• Mentor and guide junior analysts or engineers (where applicable), share domain knowledge, and contribute to continuous improvement of the team.
• Engage with external intelligence vendors, academic institutions, open‑source communities, and government/law enforcement counterparts (as permitted) to enrich intelligence inputs.

• Bachelor’s degree in International Relations, Security Studies, Political Science, Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent. Advanced degree preferred.
• 5+ years of experience in threat intelligence, geopolitical risk analysis, physical security, or related domain.
• Strong command of the threat intelligence lifecycle: requirements development, collection, processing, analysis, production, dissemination, feedback.
• Deep knowledge of geopolitical risk, state instability, terrorism, organized crime, and regional dynamics.
• Experience operationalizing intelligence in support of security operations (travel, crisis, executive protection, facility security).
• Excellent communication skills: ability to brief senior leadership, distill complex scenarios into actionable recommendations, write polished reports.
• Strong judgment, intellectual autonomy, and ability to manage ambiguous, fast‑evolving environments.
• Willingness to travel (regional or international) when required to support field operations or site assessments.

• Experience in private‑sector corporate security or critical infrastructure sectors.
• Certifications such as Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (CTIA), GIAC (GISP, GCTI), or relevant government/intel community credentials.
• Technical proficiency: scripting (Python, SQL, etc.), APIs, data engineering, familiarity with threat intelligence platforms (TIPs), geospatial systems (GIS), dashboards/visualization tools (e.g. Tableau, Power BI).
• Familiarity with social media intelligence (SOCMINT).
• Experience with vendor management and intelligence partnerships.
