Embedded Senior Analyst, Threats and Intelligence

Position Summary

Sibylline is seeking a Threats and Intelligence Senior Analyst to join our team, embedded within a client’s global security function. This is a remote, U.S.-based role. The successful candidate will provide actionable threat intelligence and guidance to decision-makers. Reporting directly to the Embedded Operations Manager, the analyst will oversee strategic intelligence efforts and gather timely, accurate intelligence on threats and risks to the client’s personnel and executives worldwide.

The ideal candidate is adaptable in a high-volume, fast-paced environment, demonstrates strong analytical skills, and is technically proficient with the ability to conceptualize and synthesize disparate information. We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in advanced online investigation techniques (OSINT).

The successful candidate can expect to work during standard business hours, with the occasional out-of-hours work for emergencies and time-sensitive matters. Candidates will exhibit flexibility and adaptability to changing needs of the work schedule; they must be self-starters and able to hit the ground running, with the ability to work both independently and as part of a global team.

This position represents an excellent opportunity for the right candidate to continue their development as an intelligence analyst with a leading firm growing at 50% per year. We offer strong career progression and are invested in building individuals' personal professional profiles. Moreover, being embedded truly offers “the best of both worlds”, giving a small firm ethos alongside large firm exposure and experience.
