Do you have a background in open source research or intelligence development and analysis? If so, we would love to hear from you.
We are looking for an intelligence analyst to join our Trading Standard's eCrime team.
Who we are
From counterfeit and dangerous goods to illicit tobacco and large frauds, our core aim is to protect consumers from online harm. We do this by investigating and disrupting harmful web sites and other online platforms. We also help build capacity within the trading standards profession at a local and regional level, so officers are better equipped to gather evidence and investigate online crime. Our team also operates a Digital Evidence Unit for the forensic analysis of computers, mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices.
The role
As an Intelligence, you will support the Disruptions Team Leader in detecting, researching and disrupting online harm. This will be by carrying out online and open source research to identify potentially harmful content and developing appropriate intelligence logs and intelligence products. You will work closely with colleagues in trading standards teams across England and Wales, as well as external partners such as the Police and HMRC.
What you will bring
An enthusiasm to protect consumers and tackle online harm. Although specific experience of online open-source research is a distinct advantage, a solid background in intelligence research and development is key. You will be an excellent communicator, both verbal and written. You will have proven experience of analysing information from a range of sources, probing for further information to aid greater understanding where necessary.
What we Offer
In addition to your salary, we offer a range of great benefits to help you financially make life a bit easier.
These include:
* a local government, career average employer contribution pension scheme
* family friendly leave
* salary sacrifice schemes
* modern flexible working practices
