About the Position

A Senior Associate to lead Dragonfly’s Americas desk. This is a full-time, permanent position, based in Dragonfly’s London office. The Senior Associate is contracted to work 40 hours a week, though additional work may be occasionally required depending on specific projects or international travel.

About the Team

The Americas Team is responsible for producing Dragonfly’s coverage of North and Latin America, and the Caribbean, primarily for its Security Intelligence and Analysis Service (SIAS). This service provides anticipatory security and strategic intelligence for global businesses and international organisations. The team comprises three analysts (including the Senior Associate), one of whom is also based in London; the other works remotely from New York City.

About You

Your primary responsibility as the lead analyst for the Americas desk is to ensure consistent production and delivery of high quality SIAS products, and executing on duties, taskings and projects. As well as being responsible for producing market-leading intelligence products on the Americas, the lead analyst is a supervisory role; you will carry out peer review, mentoring, guidance and line management (depending on team requirements) to more junior staff. This includes shaping and directing the Americas desk’s coverage of the region in coordination with Dragonfly’s management team. You are an industry leader in analysis on security, politics, geopolitics and strategic issues in the Americas.

What To Expect In This Position:

Prepare consistently client-ready (or near client ready) SIAS research, analysis, written reports and verbal briefings to agreed deadlines.
Deliver high quality project work within agreed and set budgets and timescales.
Conduct open source research and data-driven analysis in support of timely and high quality security intelligence and political risk analysis and assessments.

Give clear taskings to analysts, researchers and subcontractors that set out appropriate deadlines, deliverables and guidance.
Provide direction, work plans, peer review, guidance on approaches to peers and junior analysts.
Provide constructive, honest and delivery-focused feedback on analyst work. This feedback should have clear action points that highlight areas for ongoing skills development.
Be proactive and lead by example in dealing day to day operational tasks and ensuring team delivery demands are met. This is likely to include working on regions or topics that are outside of the individual’s expertise.
Sign off on Travel Risk Monitor, TerrorismTracker and client Requests For Information (and any additional reporting where sign-off authorisation has been given) while being alert to any content meeting as ‘high risk’ criteria for escalated associate director or director oversight.
Provide outstanding customer service.
Develop and maintain strong working relationships with clients and prospects.
Represent and advocate for the Dragonfly brand.
Draft proposals for relevant projects relevant in coordination with the director of business development and the head of projects.
Identify, develop and deliver commercial opportunities, while engaging with appropriate colleagues.

What Sets You Apart:

You may also have some experience using appropriate tools (e.g. Python SQL, R) to scrape data, query databases, automate processes and power data visualisation tools, primarily Tableau and ArcGIS
You understand how to consistently present engaging work with flair and skillfully apply house style to work, with a full understanding of why our style is as it is and how it differentiates us.
You train and mentor others in house style and the communication of methodologically sound and engaging work.
You convert work from researchers into a high quality product that meets house style standards.
You consider new ways to present findings visually, drawing on expertise to make use of cutting edge tools.
You may also be able to design, develop and maintain dashboards, mapping and other visual tools.
You share open and honest insights with team members to help them build their self-awareness and understand their impact.
You help team members maximise their personal effectiveness by coaching them in how to play to their strengths and work on their weaker areas.
