Senior Associate

Security Risk Management Advisor

← All vacancies

The role

You lead and contribute to engagements where the client's question is whether they can operate safely, and on what terms. The work is advisory and analytical. It does not include physical security provision.

What you will do

This role contributes across SISG's seven service areas, in its own dimension:

  • Political and security risk. Lead threat and security risk assessments, risk registers, and journey and site analysis for client operations.
  • Strategic intelligence and market entry. Judge the security and operational feasibility of entering or expanding in a given market.
  • Crisis and access. Build contingency, continuity, and access options for clients facing disruption or sudden instability.
  • IHL and compliance. Flag where security arrangements meet duty of care, sanctions, and legal exposure, and bring in legal colleagues.
  • AI and influence threats. Fold hostile information activity and physical-digital convergence into the threat picture.
  • Executive and asset protection. Produce protective-intelligence and duty-of-care products for client personnel and assets.
  • Training and leadership advisory. Contribute to security readiness assessments and training for client teams.
Education
  • An advanced university degree (Master's) in international security, strategic or war studies, political science, or risk management.
  • A first-level degree (Bachelor's) in a relevant field, together with two additional years of qualified experience, is accepted in lieu of the advanced degree.
Experience
  • Minimum five years of professional experience with substantial international exposure.
  • Demonstrated experience delivering work comparable to the responsibilities above, in security and risk advisory in fragile, contested, or emerging environments.
  • English is required. Arabic or French is a strong asset across our regions.
  • A record of integrity, discretion, and sound judgement under pressure, and of working effectively across disciplines and cultures.
Engagement model

This is a project-based associate engagement, not employment. Compensation is agreed per project. You invoice SISG as an independent professional and remain responsible for your own tax and social-security obligations. Work is mainly remote, with occasional site visits. Selected associates undergo due diligence and sign confidentiality and conflict-of-interest declarations. Joining the roster does not guarantee project assignment.
