AlertMedia is seeking a Strategic Intelligence Analyst (Shift: Tues-Sat, 9am-5pm CT) to join our Global Intelligence team. This role will focus primarily on the Americas region, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. This role will play a critical part in helping customers understand and prepare for events and emerging risks that may impact their people, operations, and business continuity. As a Strategic Intelligence Analyst, you will leverage open-source intelligence, analytical tradecraft, and a variety of intelligence sources to identify, assess, and communicate risks associated with future events, geopolitical developments, evolving global trends, and activist movements.
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.

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 have sound judgment, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to make thoughtful decisions when information is incomplete, conflicting, or rapidly evolving.

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.

- 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.
What You Bring to the Role:
- 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.
