Your main task will be to review, coordinate and report the findings of OSINT and HUMINT research concisely within short timeframes. A meticulous eye for detail is a must in this challenging, fast-paced role. The right candidate will be a team player who can maintain a positive attitude under pressure.

  • Rate findings based on standard or tailored risk assessment methodologies
  • Summarise all relevant findings in a report
  • When required, brief and present findings to internal colleagues
  • Collaborate with team members across the firm to deliver joint projects

Business and practice development

  • Maintain and enhance our knowledge management base, by working with other VANTAGE members providing insight on potential service/product improvement
  • Support in reviewing reports
  • Support in training researchers

Essential

  • Knowledge of research techniques, databases, networks, online registers and archives, and research in the general internet

  • Excellence in research and writing in English and clear communication style
  • Communicate complex topics verbally and in writing effectively
  • Ability to summarise large amounts of information in a clear and concise manner
  • Ability to manage and prioritise multiple tasks to tight deadlines
