What You'll Do

A Senior Analyst in the Global Security Operations Center (GSOC) manages the operations of a GSOC shift team. The team supports multiple clients in diverse locations, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Senior Analyst's primary duty is management of the on-duty shift, including staffing, work assignments, performance, training, escalation decisions, and service quality.

The Senior Analyst serves as the primary escalation point for all Operators and Analyst and assumes full supervisory authority over the shift in the absence of the GSOC Supervisors. The Senior Analyst also performs and reviews high-level intelligence analysis and, exercising independent judgment, serves as the senior decision-maker for the shift. The team uses the HiveWatch GSOC Operating System and internal tooling, physical security technologies, OSINT intelligence and notification platforms, and analytic requests.

In emergencies, the HiveWatch GSOC directs and coordinates assistance for its clients. The Senior Analyst leads the shift's response, including analysis, technical, and advisory support for essential operational services. The Senior Analyst exercises discretion and independent judgment in deciding on escalation of identified security events and on the shift's actions to manage, control, and reduce immediate threats to health and safety.
