Intelligence Analyst

AboutUs*

Gbeja Global Security provides integrated security, executive mobility, emergency response and

intelligence/advisory services in Nigeria. We are recruiting a rigorous, versatile Intelligence Analyst to turn

information into reliable insights, recommendations and professional outputs for clients, internal

management, operations, commercial teams and external audiences.

Role purpose

Research complex questions; assess the quality of available evidence; identify risks, trends and

implications; and communicate findings in clear, accurate and decision-useful formats. The analyst is

expected to take work from an ambiguous brief to a well-structured, review-ready output.

Core responsibilities

1. Intelligence monitoring and analytical assessment

• Monitor relevant security, political, economic, regulatory, infrastructure and operational developments

using lawful, credible sources.

• Verify and triangulate information; distinguish confirmed facts, allegations, assumptions and analytical

judgments.

• Produce concise risk briefs, incident summaries, situation updates, thematic assessments, forecasts and

decision notes.

• Explain implications for client safety, business travel, operations, continuity and Gbeja service delivery.

2. Research and problem-solving

• Translate broad business questions into research plans, hypotheses, information requirements and practical workplans.

• Conduct desk research, structured interviews and quantitative or qualitative analysis as appropriate.

• Compare options, identify trade-offs, develop evidence-backed recommendations and flag limitations or uncertainty.

• Maintain clear source records, assumptions, version control and supporting calculations.

3. Client, operational and commercial intelligence

• Support client-facing risk assessments, journey planning inputs, sector profiles, location briefs, proposals and advisory products.

• Analyse operational performance, service issues, trends and root causes; suggest practical improvements.

• Research sectors, target organisations, market opportunities, competitors and customer needs to support business development.

• Work with operations and subject-matter experts to validate technical details and translate expertise into usable insights.

4. Written communication and knowledge products

• Draft polished reports, executive summaries, briefing notes, presentations, scripts, articles, checklists and other research-based materials.

• Adapt the same evidence for different audiences: executives, clients, operational teams, prospects and public professional channels.

• Support thought-leadership and educational content, including Linkedin, while retaining ownership of factual and analytical quality.

• Coordinate with designers or external agencies on content accuracy and review proofs before release.

5. Quality, confidentiality and professional standards

• Apply rigorous fact-checking, citation, confidentiality, privacy and information-security standards.

• Avoid disclosing client identities, sensitive movement information, operational vulnerabilities or unverified performance claims.

• Meet deadlines, communicate risks early, incorporate feedback and maintain organised research files.

• Undertake other related analytical, research and business-support assignments reasonably required by the company.
