Role

Who you are

AI & Data Science: You need to have a good understanding of how data is used in AI or be ready to learn rapidly. If you don’t have experience in this area, we would expect deep expertise in data exploitation from another field, such as finance, defence, or open-source intelligence (OSINT)
Intelligence Analysis: Hands-on experience as an intelligence analyst, including OSINT, political risk analyst, security operations manager, or financial markets analyst
Analytical & Problem-Solving Skills: Demonstrated ability to critically evaluate complex data ecosystems, including diverse data sources, structures, and integration pipelines
Communication Skills: Excellent ability to communicate complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders, including non-technical teams

Desirable

Domain Expertise: Background in geopolitical intelligence, political risk, or security analysis
Training & Mentoring: Experience delivering training or mentoring teams in technical and analytical skills, including data science or intelligence analysis

What the job involves

Drive exploitation and expansion of our unique data: We have data that others don’t. Growing and structuring this data is essential for us to make the best use of it. You will own and drive this effort
Innovate Data Sources: You will track the emergence and evolution of new data sources and consider the utility of ones that ExTrac isn’t yet using, assessing associated engineering and hosting costs as necessary
AI & Data Science Innovation: Stay updated on developments in AI and data science, advising on new techniques to maximize the value of ExTrac’s current and future datasets
OSINT Tools & Techniques: Monitor advancements in tools and techniques used for OSINT analysis and investigations, ensuring ExTrac operates at the cutting edge of the discipline
Bridge the Gap: Sit between our AI and data science teams and the domain experts in our research and analysis teams, understanding and explaining the requirements and perspectives of both sides and translating these into action

Our take

Traditional intelligence gathering often struggles to keep pace with the evolving nature of threats. Siloed approaches focus solely on physical or online risks and miss the complex interplay between the two, leaving organisations vulnerable.

ExTrac offers a comprehensive approach, with its system bridging the physical and online divide, providing real-time insights into a broad range of threats, including terrorism, violent extremism, disinformation, and crime. Its Co-Analyst tool allows even non-experts to obtain valuable insights and make faster, more informed decisions.

The company's innovative technology and focus on user-friendliness positions it to empower a wide range of organisations to proactively manage risk. As the threat landscape continues to evolve, ExTrac is poised for continued growth, with a wealth of opportunity on its horizon.
