About the team
The Risk Intelligence team sits within Risk Detection and operates at the intersection of intelligence collection, analysis, and systems design.

This is a leadership role for someone who combines strong judgment, operational depth, and systems thinking. Reporting directly to the Global Head of Risk Detection, you will work in close partnership to shape priorities and raise the quality and scale of the function - bringing your own perspective and building the kind of trust that creates room to take on more over time.

- Translate team and organizational priorities into clear execution plans, operating mechanisms, and measurable outcomes.
- Improve how intelligence is collected, structured, stored, and acted on - strengthening channels across first-party and third-party sources so signals more reliably inform detection and decision-making.
- Work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Data Science to improve detection inputs, data collection, internal tooling, reporting, and scalable intelligence workflows.
- Identify operational gaps and drive improvements across the intelligence lifecycle, including opportunities to automate or augment workflows through structured data, rules, machine learning, and AI-enabled solutions where appropriate.
- Define and track clear measures of impact, including improvements in detection quality, operational efficiency, and upstream prevention.
- Build a healthy, high-standards team culture grounded in sound judgment, clear communication, strong partnership, and continuous improvement.

- Demonstrated experience applying automation or AI-enabled solutions to improve how work gets done.
- Demonstrated ability to improve systems, workflows, or operating models - not only execute within existing ones.

Preferred Qualifications
- Strong understanding of OSINT methodologies, online adversarial behavior, and intelligence-driven risk analysis.
- Experience partnering closely with Product, Engineering, and Data Science to improve tools, workflows, or detection capabilities.
- Experience leading a team through scale, process maturity, or capability-building inflection points.
