Strategic Intelligence Analyst (Americas)
Do work that matters.
At AlertMedia, we're the leading Risk Intelligence and Response company helping organizations protect their people and businesses. Our mission is simple but critical: to save lives and minimize loss by identifying emerging threats worldwide and enabling timely communication when emergencies impact personal safety or business continuity.
Everything we do is guided by our core values:
- We’re humans not robots
- Customers always come first
- We work better together
- Simplicity is our strength
- Our reputation is priceless
- Hard work pays off
A primary focus of this role will be monitoring and assessing planned and emerging events across the Americas, including demonstrations, protests, labor actions, counter-protests, political rallies, major public gatherings, and other activity that may create operational, travel, safety, or reputational impacts for organizations. Additionally, you will serve as a regional intelligence resource for the Americas, monitoring the region for significant developments; elections and transition periods; political activity; organized crime and cartel-related security trends; border, migration, and transport issues; and emerging trends that may affect customers and their employees.
In addition to producing timely intelligence alerts and assessments, you will contribute to recurring intelligence products and reporting, helping customers understand what is happening, why it matters, and what impacts may follow.
As one of the fastest growing software companies in the nation, we're focused on finding the best talent and building the best team to continue accelerating our rapid growth to keep up with our demand!
Who You Are:
You have previous experience as a Strategic Intelligence Analyst, Intelligence Analyst, Security Analyst, Geopolitical Risk Analyst, or in another role that required you to be mission-focused, analytical, highly organized, and able to work effectively within time constraints. You are skilled at collecting, evaluating, and analyzing information from a variety of sources and transforming complex developments into clear, actionable intelligence.
You're inspired to make a difference and understand the importance and responsibility of supporting customers through critical events and evolving risk landscapes. You have sound judgment, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to make thoughtful decisions when information is incomplete, conflicting, or rapidly evolving.
You are an independent problem solver who communicates clearly, writes effectively, and collaborates well with others. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, welcome feedback, and are motivated by opportunities to strengthen intelligence capabilities and customer outcomes.
You are comfortable owning a regional portfolio with limited day-to-day direction, proactively identifying collection priorities, escalating significant developments, and making sound analytic judgments in ambiguous or fast-moving situations.
What You'll Get to Do Every Day:
- Utilize open-source intelligence and a variety of collection tools to identify, assess, and monitor planned events and emerging risks across the Americas region. Support efforts across other regions as needed.
- Monitor and assess planned demonstrations, protests, labor strikes, and other activism-related activity and upcoming events to identify potential impacts to business operations, employee safety, travel, and business continuity.
- Serve as the primary intelligence resource for an Americas-focused area of responsibility, maintaining awareness of elections, political developments, civil unrest, labor activity, security incidents, and emerging regional trends.
- Research, analyze, and assess complex events and developments, transforming information from multiple sources into timely intelligence alerts, assessments, and other intelligence products that provide relevant context, potential impacts, and actionable insights.
- Contribute to recurring intelligence reporting, including weekly intelligence briefs, situation reports, and other strategic intelligence deliverables.
- Evaluate information from a variety of sources, validate reporting, and ensure intelligence products meet the highest standards of accuracy, relevance, and timeliness.
- Collaborate with colleagues across the Global Intelligence Team to refine collection methodologies, enhance analytical processes, and continuously improve intelligence coverage and reporting.
- 3-5 years of professional experience in intelligence analysis, strategic intelligence, geopolitical risk, security operations, international relations, risk analysis, or a related field requiring strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Strong analytical judgment and decision-making skills with the ability to evaluate evolving situations, identify relevant information, establish priorities, and communicate accurate intelligence under time constraints.
- Excellent written communication skills, including the ability to transform complex information into clear, concise, and actionable intelligence products for diverse audiences.
- Strong research and synthesis skills, including the ability to quickly evaluate multiple sources, develop subject-matter familiarity, and produce organized, objective analysis.
- Demonstrated attention to detail and commitment to accuracy, including the ability to validate information and assess source credibility.
- Familiarity with open-source intelligence (OSINT) methodologies, social media monitoring, and intelligence collection tools.
- Demonstrated ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and maintain situational awareness across a broad geographic portfolio with minimal supervision.
- A willing partner in giving and receiving feedback on product, process, and performance.
- Professional Spanish reading proficiency is preferred; Portuguese proficiency is a plus.
- Experience monitoring or analyzing risk in the Americas is preferred.
- As a key player on a 24/7 team, this role requires commitment to your agreed-upon shift with flexibility of hours as needed to support the business. This may include evenings, overnight, weekends, and holidays from time to time.
