The Proactive Intelligence Lead enables intelligence-led detection of internal fraud, misconduct, and insider risk through rigorous analysis, analytical judgement, and disciplined use of data. The role is accountable for analytically interrogating large, complex, and ambiguous datasets to identify emerging risks, latent patterns, and control vulnerabilities not observable through existing typologies or rule-based detection. It converts analytical findings into high-quality written intelligence products and defensible assessments that materially improve the timing, focus, and effectiveness of proactive detection and investigation across Group Investigations.

What You’ll Do

Intelligence-Led Risk Analysis

Lead proactive intelligence activity focused on identifying emerging and evolving insider, misconduct, and internal fraud risks.
Apply structured analytical techniques to move beyond known typologies and existing detection logic.
Form, test, and refine hypotheses using data-driven analysis and professional judgement.
Produce written intelligence assessments that clearly separate data, analysis and judgement

Advanced Analytics & Data Interrogation

Extract, interrogate, and analyse large, complex, and multi-source datasets, including structured and unstructured data.
Build and run complex SQL queries (e.g. in Teradata or similar platforms) to source, join, and prepare data for analysis.
Perform deeper analytical assessment using analytical languages such as Python, SAS, or similar.
Analyse big data and large datasets, managing data quality issues, gaps, and ambiguity.
Use advanced Excel capability to support exploratory analysis, validation, trend analysis, and presentation of results.
Translate analytical outputs into risk indicators, detection hypotheses, and intelligence priorities.

From Insight to Action

Convert analytical findings into clear, concise, and well-structured written outputs.
Produce high-quality written reporting that enables senior stakeholders to quickly understand risk and rationale.
Shape earlier points of detection across detection and investigation workflows.
Clearly articulate analytical assumptions, limitations, and residual uncertainty.

Capability & Analytical Maturity

Uplift analytical and intelligence capability through improved methods and repeatable products.
Act as a subject matter leader in analytical reasoning, intelligence writing, and evidence-based judgement.
Develop scalable intelligence products rather than one-off reviews.

Governance, Judgement & Defensibility

Exercise strong analytical judgement in the lawful and proportionate use of sensitive data.
Ensure intelligence activity is well documented and defensible.
Operate effectively in a high-risk, high-governance environment.

What We’re Looking For

Experience in proactive detection, intelligence, fraud, risk, or misconduct analysis.
Strong technical analytics capability including SQL (Teradata), Python/SAS, and advanced Excel.
Excellent report writing and intelligence communication skills.
Strong analytical and critical thinking capability.
Ability to balance depth with practical outcomes.

What Success Looks Like

Emerging risks identified earlier through intelligence-led analysis.
Intelligence outputs are trusted and used in decision-making.
Analytical maturity across the team improves.
Detection outcomes improve through targeted, evidence-based use of data.
