To achieve this, we need to grow our team of talented and passionate people.
Our clients include some of the most well-known global brands, national governments, and innovative growing businesses. We operate in an exciting, fast-growing sector that bears increasing relevance and importance to nation-states, corporates, universities, and NGOs.

We've got experience working with social media platforms, governments, and non-profit organisations - helping them understand and navigate digital threats. Our highly skilled Digital Investigations team works at the cutting edge of digital threat and online harm, helping clients detect and respond. We use innovative technology and have a deep understanding of everything related to social media and online infrastructure. We're not just about the platforms themselves, but also about the behaviours and intent of those who use them for adversarial outcomes, and those they target.
What you’ll be doing
- Editing, reviewing, and quality assuring intelligence reports, investigations, and client deliverables.
- Ensuring written outputs are accurate, concise, consistent, and aligned to our editorial standards.
- Working closely with analysts to strengthen the clarity, structure, and impact of their reporting.
