About The Position

Crisis24’s Crisis Security Consulting (CSC) team is seeking an Associate Consultant to join an ever-growing team to support wider project deliverables. The successful candidate will be based within the US or Canada, working remotely, but with potential travel overseas to support response and consulting tasks. Therefore, a candidate with geopolitical knowledge and interest, language abilities, and a willingness and adaptability to support bespoke international projects is sought after. The position further requires education to a Master’s level in a sector relevant subject matter, and 1-2 years of relevant work experience and language abilities are desired. The successful candidate will quickly be involved in tasks and projects supporting the wider Crisis Security Consulting department. No two days are the same, and the Associate Consultant will work on bespoke reporting and threat assessments across geographies and threat types, analyzing data and presenting it to clients, supporting operations on the ground during domestic and international deployments, and editing and proofing the work of your peers. The candidate will also need to support out-of-hours tasks when required as part of a wider team “on-call” rotation system (a week of “on call” every 10-11 weeks, approximate). The Associate Consultant will quickly become adept at multiple types of task delivery, which will support their professional development within Crisis24. The successful candidate will work within the wider Associate Consultant team, supporting the international consulting team across the Americas, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Asia Pacific, as well as our Special Risks, All Hazards, and Product Risks response team. As part of the Crisis and Security Consulting department, the Associate Consultant will often work across and collaborate with the wider Crisis24 group and GardaWorld partners.
