Job Description & Key Responsibilities
MAX is a global risk‑management firm headquartered in Tel Aviv with its Asia‑Pacific hub in Mumbai. Founded by veterans of Israeli military special forces, intelligence, cyber and secret services, the company has built a reputation over 25+ years for delivering actionable intelligence to Fortune‑500 clients operating in hostile or high‑risk environments. With a presence in more than 160 countries, MAX blends on‑ground human networks, open‑source intelligence (OSINT) tools, and advanced analytics to help corporations safeguard assets, personnel, and supply chains.
The Mumbai office, while currently operating remotely, serves as the nerve centre for the company’s tactical intelligence services across the Indian sub‑continent. The team works round‑the‑clock, monitoring geopolitical developments, security incidents, and emerging threats that could affect corporate travel or business continuity. By leveraging social‑media monitoring, satellite imagery, and local informant feeds, analysts at MAX translate raw data into concise, actionable reports for clients ranging from multinational banks to logistics providers.
**Role Summary**
As a Junior Tactical Analyst, you will be the first line of defence in the intelligence pipeline. You will gather, verify, and synthesize information from multiple open sources, track security‑related events worldwide, and produce tactical risk briefs for corporate clients and international travellers. The role is designed for fresh graduates with a keen interest in geopolitics, security studies, or journalism, offering a fast‑paced learning environment where multitasking under pressure is the norm.
**Key Responsibilities**
1. Collect and curate open‑source data on emerging risks, including news, social media, government advisories, and satellite feeds.
2. Monitor global security dashboards and flag incidents that may impact client operations.
3. Draft daily and weekly tactical intelligence reports with clear risk assessments and mitigation recommendations.
4. Maintain an up‑to‑date repository of threat indicators and country‑specific risk profiles.
5. Collaborate with senior analysts to validate findings and refine analytical methodologies.
6. Participate in shift rotations, including weekends, holidays, and night shifts, ensuring 24/7 coverage.
7. Use OSINT tools such as Maltego, Shodan, and custom Python scripts for data extraction and analysis.
8. Communicate findings to clients via email briefs, dashboards, and occasional virtual briefings.
9. Stay abreast of geopolitical developments, terrorism trends, and cyber‑physical threats.
10. Contribute to continuous improvement of reporting templates and standard operating procedures.
**Tech Stack & Tools**: OSINT platforms (Maltego, Shodan), data visualization (PowerBI, Tableau), GIS mapping (QGIS), basic Python for automation, Microsoft Office Suite, and collaboration tools like Slack and Teams.
**Growth Path**: Starting as a Junior Analyst, you can progress to Tactical Analyst, Senior Analyst, and eventually Team Lead or Regional Intelligence Manager, with opportunities to specialize in cyber‑threat intelligence, travel risk, or geopolitical forecasting.
**Why Join MAX?** The company offers exposure to real‑world security challenges, mentorship from seasoned intelligence professionals, and a culture that rewards curiosity and analytical rigor. Working remotely from Mumbai gives you flexibility while still being part of a global network that influences high‑stakes decision‑making for some of the world’s biggest corporations.
