Job Description

Sibylline is looking for an early to mid-career intelligence professional to join our team in an embedded role within a client's security team. The successful candidate will provide tailored strategic and protective intelligence analysis as part of a tight-knit operation providing actionable intelligence and advice to decision-makers. This is a fully Remote-US position; East Coast preferred, but we’ll also consider West Coast for the right candidate.

​The successful candidate will gather timely and accurate information/intelligence on threats and risks to personnel, assets, and reputation globally. They must have the capability to detect, analyze, and advise on adverse conditions that could affect security, operational continuity, and reputation. As such, they must be adaptable in a high-volume, fast-paced environment, and demonstrate analytical skills with the ability to skillfully conceptualize and synthesize disparate information. The role requires the candidate to have knowledge in online investigation (OSINT) and social media intelligence (SOCMINT) research and techniques. 

​Applicants to this role require the ability to research and analyze a wide range of information and create insightful analysis in accordance with strict deadlines, including presenting and incorporating relevant data and visualization. 

​The successful candidate can expect to work during standard business hours, with the occasional out-of-hours work for emergencies and time-sensitive matters. Candidates must be self-starters and able to hit the ground running, with the ability to work both independently and as part of a global team. 

Due to being embedded, the successful candidate will engage directly with the client to provide immediate support and consulting. Although the client manages the analyst’s workload and priorities day-to-day, the analyst will formally report to Sibylline’s Embedded Operations team at HQ. Full support will be provided by our head office, including training and professional development.

​This position represents an excellent opportunity for the right candidate to continue their development as an analyst with a leading security and intelligence firm growing at 50% per year. We offer strong career progression and are invested in building individuals' personal and professional profiles. Moreover, being embedded truly offers “the best of both worlds,” giving a small firm ethos alongside large firm exposure and experience.
