About the Role
The Associate Director, Enterprise Risk & Operations Intelligence is a senior leader within Corporate Security responsible for developing and governing the enterprise level risk intelligence function that supports organizational awareness of threats to people, operations, and assets.
This role focuses on broad scale risk analysis, including activism and civil disruptions, regional risk conditions, and site level risk environments. The Associate Director establishes the intelligence requirements, analytic standards, frameworks, and processes that enable consistent, high quality intelligence across the enterprise.
The role ensures intelligence outputs are scalable, defensible, and aligned to enterprise decision making. This function integrates closely with Protective Intelligence by providing enterprise risk context that informs downstream analysis of how broader threats may affect executive and other employee populations.
Careers with Optum offer flexible work arrangements and individuals who live and work in the Republic of Ireland will have the opportunity to split their monthly work hours between our Dublin or Letterkenny office and telecommuting from a home-based office in a hybrid work model.
Primary Responsibilities
- Define standardized intelligence lifecycle processes, including collection requirements, analysis, validation, dissemination, and feedback loops
- Create and maintain enterprise intelligence standards, including product formats, confidence assessments, sourcing expectations, and analytic rigor requirements
- Implement quality assurance and review processes to ensure intelligence products are accurate, consistent, and decision relevant
- Lead strategic analysis and long term risk forecasting related to geopolitical shifts, regional instability, social movements, and civil disruptions
- Develop and maintain the enterprise risk intelligence governance model, defining decision rights, accountability, and oversight for intelligence production and dissemination
- Ensure delivery of scalable situational awareness, including geographic, regional, and asset based risk assessments
- Provide oversight of 24/7 global intelligence coverage, including rapid turn SITREPs (5Ws), intelligence updates, and executive level alerts during emerging events
- Develop and execute the enterprise intelligence maturity roadmap, identifying capability gaps and future state requirements
- Integrate enterprise risk intelligence outputs with Protective Intelligence, Crisis Management, Enterprise Security Operations, and other risk partners
- Brief senior leaders on enterprise risk trends, emerging threats, and strategic intelligence assessments
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
