ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for a Graduate Protective Intelligence Consultant to join our growing team of bright professionals in our San Francisco office. From your first day, you'll join an unrivalled community of experts, where everyone is supported in their career path and encouraged to work towards a professional qualification.

You'll help us to deliver effective and professional services for a range of varied and high-profile clients. While you'll have a great deal of responsibility from day one, we'll give you the chance to take on more as you progress and broaden your skills.

Your role will be to collect and analyze open source intelligence on malicious risks. You will structure and analyse relevant intelligence data utilizing various references and tools, with an emphasis in assessing and presenting data using digital-based platforms. You will deliver written and verbal analysis to our clients, and work with them in order to define their security requirements in accordance with their own risk appetite and other business objectives. You will support business development and marketing activities and work closely with our Blast Resilience and Security Engineering teams.

You will be expected to contribute to research and report writing, develop risk assessment methodologies, and help develop new marketing material in collaboration with others. You will provide support to internal clients where relevant. You may also represent Arup at relevant conferences and other external events.

You will demonstrate a high level of intellectual curiosity and interest in crime, terrorism, civil unrest, politics or international relations. You will enjoy solving complex problems. You will be comfortable making judgments about malicious risks based on imperfect information. You will enjoy working with people from a range of professional disciplines. You will be collaborative in your approach but able to work independently. At times, you will need to manage competing PRIORITIES and your workload to meet deadlines.
