TL;DR · Protective Intelligence & Threat Analyst

As a Protective Intelligence & Threat Analyst within the Global Physical Security team, you will protect people, workplaces, and physical assets from global threats. You will transform open-source intelligence into actionable tasks by monitoring social media, dark web platforms, and geopolitical shifts to provide situational awareness. Your daily responsibilities include conducting threat hunting, investigating violent or disruptive threats, performing risk assessments for travel and facilities, and delivering intelligence briefings to stakeholders. To succeed, you must possess expert proficiency in Boolean logic, OSINT tools, and threat intelligence software, alongside skills in data automation and scripting. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams like InfoSec and HR to mitigate risks across a global footprint. This role focuses on physical security and protective intelligence rather than cyber-threats, requiring strong analytical skills to distinguish credible threats from online noise within the semiconductor industry context.

What you'll do

  • Monitor OSINT, social media, and dark web platforms to identify risks to personnel and assets.
  • Analyze global news and geopolitical shifts to maintain situational awareness of threats to the company's footprint.
  • Conduct investigations into persons of interest and evaluate violent or disruptive threats.
  • Perform risk-based intelligence assessments for corporate sites and employee travel safety.
  • Produce actionable intelligence products and briefings for stakeholders and leadership.
  • Recommend proactive risk mitigation strategies for facilities and travel programs.
  • Coordinate with Security Control Centers during active incidents to ensure rapid response.
  • Provide data-driven insights into the performance of the corporate security ecosystem through regular reporting.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum 8 years experience with a Bachelor's degree, or 6 years with a Master's, or a PhD with 3 years experience (or equivalent).
  • Deep experience with OSINT tools, social media monitoring platforms, and threat intelligence software.
  • 3-4 years of proven analytical capability to parse unstructured data and distinguish credible threats from noise.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently with little guidance.
  • Outstanding communication skills to collaborate effectively across different teams and stakeholders.
  • Expert level proficiency with Boolean logic and threat tools (preferred).
  • Practical familiarity with dark web investigations (preferred).
  • Data automation and scripting to automate open-source intelligence (preferred).
