A Response Analyst is required to monitor and report on world events and play a vital role in how the company responds to an incident. You'll be expected to be able to search for potential threats or incidents that could affect the company's people, assets and reputation.
You will need to look beyond major media networks in order to get advance warning of news. We'll expect you to be able to exploit social media and harness the various tools and software platforms you'll have at your disposal to be the first to see and assess news to make an initial assessment.
You will be responsible for contributing to the safety of staff and business travellers worldwide and be expected to make contact with travelling staff during an emergency, as well as contacting senior figures within the company at any time of day or night if required.
