Salary: £30,000 — entry-level role, full training provided · North East England · 3 days/week in office
Crowd Threat is building the world's first crowdsourced global threat monitoring platform. Our contributor network reports real-time, on-the-ground incidents — civil unrest, crime, and other physical security threats — from locations around the world. We verify and aggregate those reports into intelligence our clients rely on for situational awareness. We're looking for a Threat Intelligence and Verification Analyst to join us as we build that platform from the ground up.
This role is based in our North East England office, with an expectation of 3 days per week on-site. This is an entry-level position — you don't need prior professional experience in threat intelligence, we'll give you full training. What matters is your analytical mindset, curiosity, and writing ability. It's also a genuine opportunity to grow your career with Crowd Threat as we scale — this is a foundational role on a small team, with room to develop into more senior analyst positions as the company grows.
The role
This role sits at the center of our verification pipeline and our intelligence output. You'll work threat by threat, region by region, building a genuinely global view of what's happening on the ground — while also working directly with our contributor network to help maintain a high standard of accuracy in the data they submit. Beyond verification, you'll analyze the incoming data and produce your own written analysis — building a portfolio of work based on the real-time, granular threat data our platform picks up as one of the first of its kind.
Core responsibilities:
- Review and verify incoming contributor reports for accuracy, credibility, and completeness
- Work directly with contributors to guide and improve the quality and accuracy of their reporting
- Monitor and understand threat activity across categories (civil unrest, crime, social & political events, etc.) and across global regions
- Analyze verified threat data to identify patterns, trends, and emerging risks
- Produce written analysis and reporting — briefings, write-ups, or threat summaries — building a body of work over time
- Contribute to the ongoing development of verification standards and processes as the platform scales
What we're looking for
- No prior professional experience required — full training provided
- Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills, with an eye for verifying credibility and sourcing
- Excellent written communication — comfortable turning raw data into clear, well-argued analysis
- Genuine interest in global affairs, civil unrest, and physical security/geopolitical risk
- A relevant degree or self-directed background (e.g. politics, international relations, journalism, security studies) is a plus but not essential
- Willingness to learn and grow into more senior analyst roles as Crowd Threat scales
Life at a startup
This is a startup, and that comes with a particular kind of opportunity. You'll get access to the entire business, not just your corner of it — it's genuinely all hands on deck, and you'll see how a company gets built from the ground up. You'll also get the opportunity to help guide our three tech products and our AI strategy. It's a great way to learn about business more broadly, in a role that's globally focused and genuinely exciting.
