GSOC Protective Intelligence Specialist

Headquartered in Silicon Valley, California, Archer is a leader in the next-gen aerospace sector building an end-to-end advanced air mobility platform that delivers air taxis, unmanned aircraft systems ("UAS"), aviation-related physical artificial intelligence ("AI") solutions, and other technologies to customers worldwide across the commercial aerospace and defense sectors.

Our sights are set high and our problems are hard, and we believe that diversity in the workplace is what makes us smarter, drives better insights, and will ultimately lift us all to success. We are dedicated to cultivating an equitable and inclusive environment that embraces our differences, and supports and celebrates all of our team members.

The Global Security Operations Center (GSOC) is the nerve center for security and risk information orting to the Sr. Director, Global Security, this role goes well beyond a traditional GSOC operator: you will run core GSOC monitoring and dispatch operations while also performing protective intelligence, open-source intelligence (OSINT) risk monitoring, and travel risk monitoring. It is a blended operator and analyst role for someone who can watch the boards, run an incident, and produce sharp intelligence in the same day.

You will help protect Archer's people, assets, and reputation, supporting executive protection with protective intelligence and keeping a constant read on threats to the company and its travelers. This is a proof-of-concept role as we stand up the GSOC and its intelligence capability, and it is effectively a lead-caliber position: you will operate with real autonomy, exercise sound judgment where written protocols are still limited, and help write the protocols and build the workflows as you go.

Doing this well is how we prove out the program and earn the runway to build it out. The coverage model and hours will take shape as the program matures.
