The Team Lead will oversee intelligence collection, monitoring, analysis, and reporting efforts to identify emerging threats, incidents, risks, and trends that may impact the client’s people, assets, operations, and reputation. In addition to producing high-quality intelligence assessments and briefings, the successful candidate will provide day-to-day leadership to the analyst team, establish intelligence priorities, support complex investigations, and drive continuous improvement across reporting, workflows, and program performance. The role requires strong analytical judgment, excellent communication skills, and the ability to translate complex information into clear, actionable intelligence that supports operational and strategic decision-making.
