Through your open-source research skills and engagement with human sources in the region, you will deliver intelligence gathering tasks and research to our clients. These buyers will rely on your analysis to identify risks linked to entering new commercial relationships and transactions, as well as to assess the role, positioning and motivations of key stakeholders and competitors in new markets.

You will be a prominent and visible advocate for the Africa business intelligence practice both within Control Risks and externally.

The core deliverables you will be responsible for are:

- Building up our network of human sources in markets and in industries where our clients require unique, non-publicly available insights into market participants and transactions.

- Scoping persuasive, client centric proposals in response to a wide-variety of different client requests
- Managing complex intelligence and analysis assignments
- An ability to think critically in the investigation, evaluation and interpretation of both open source and human intelligence information in the context of intelligence led investigations.
- An ability to work closely with clients to understand the implications of issues identified in the course of research and provide constructive input towards their identification of solutions
- An ability to articulate the salience of identified risks occasioned by the nature of client transactions, commercial relationships, new markets and stakeholders and demonstrate a willingness and ability to inform strategic decision making and explore risk mitigation strategies

**Investigative case management**
- Manage and execute a range of business intelligence and compliance projects including due diligence, background checks, market entry studies, asset identification, litigation support, problem solving and power mapping
- Manage the entire project cycle, from initial client request to proposal drafting, acceptance, delivery and invoicing
- Conduct in-depth public record research using best-in-class open source intelligence gathering methodologies.
- Work together with other members of project teams, within the business intelligence practice and other departments, to seamlessly bring together disparate research and analysis streams to produce coherent and actionable deliverables for our clients.
- Liaise with our human source network to extract critical insights to address our clients’ information requirements.
- Expand our source network by cultivating contacts in critical markets and sectors across the region.
- Work closely with the Global Risk Analysis team, our political risk department, to ensure issues relating to country risk are considered and demonstrated in providing context to research and intelligence gathered.
- Liaise with clients to understand their requirements and ensure that our proposals deliver solutions tailored to those needs
- Business and practice development
- Take an active role in developing Control Risks' client base, seeking to both maintain existing relationships and bring new ones
