Job Description

Protective Intelligence Analysts play a key role in supporting the delivery of intelligence products and services to Securitas and its customers. This position is ideally suited to individuals with at least 1-2 years' experience in an intelligence or intelligence-related analytical role. The role also offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to the ongoing development of the Risk Intelligence Center (RIC) as it progresses an ambitious programme of growth and capability enhancement.

Successful candidates will demonstrate strong analytical and technical capabilities alongside excellent interpersonal skills, including the ability to communicate effectively, build positive working relationships, and collaborate constructively within a team environment.

Responsibilities

A large part of the role involves continuous monitoring and analysis of global events and activity, identifying what is significant, understanding potential impact, and helping customers anticipate and respond to risk. Analysts play a key role in ensuring risks are identified early, impacts are understood, and practical insight is provided before issues escalate.

• Deliver end‑to‑end intelligence briefs, including collection, processing, analysis, production, and dissemination of intelligence relating to risks impacting people, property, and assets globally.
• Monitor and identify emerging activity, trends, and indicators that may pose risk or have operational impact, using a combination of intelligence tools, structured research, and manual collection.
• Analyse information using recognised intelligence techniques and contribute clear, proportionate judgement to support proactive decision‑making.
• Produce high‑quality intelligence products autonomously or in support of senior colleagues, including alerts, reports, assessments, investigations, and verbal briefings.
• Disseminate intelligence to a range of stakeholders, both internally within Securitas and commercially to customers in the UK and internationally.
• Support continuous improvement through evaluation and feedback, maintaining consistency, quality, and best practice across intelligence outputs.
• Contribute to the development of sources, methods, and approaches, maintaining awareness of innovation and emerging best practice within intelligence.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues across the RIC and the wider Securitas organisation, including client‑facing teams and global partners.
• Operate in line with our core values of Integrity, Vigilance, and Helpfulness, maintaining a strong awareness of risk, safety, and compliance.
