The opportunity

Our Forensic & Integrity Services (Forensics) team is experiencing rapid growth, and as an Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) and Investigations Manager you’ll be a key part of that growth. Working with companies across all industries, you’ll develop your career by communicating creative solutions for the client’s specific needs. This opportunity is for team-oriented individuals who want to continually learn, research new technologies or investigation methodologies and develop new skills to drive innovation as part of a continually evolving service offering.

This job posting relates to an existing vacancy within our organization.

Your key responsibilities

The nature of this role means no two engagements are the same. You will work closely with clients to understand their concerns, objectives, and risk environment, and design proportionate, defensible OSINT‑led investigation approaches. You will be responsible for conducting structured analysis of open‑source and publicly available information to help clients understand what occurred, assess potential impacts, and determine how information may have been accessed, disclosed, or misused.

You will support clients on a range of matters, including insider threat assessments and other sensitive investigations, often across multiple engagements simultaneously. This role requires strong analytical judgment and the ability to think creatively about non‑traditional data misuse, identify indicators of malicious or inappropriate behaviour, and enhance investigative methodologies. You will also help clients strengthen data integrity, improve investigative readiness, and manage legal, regulatory, and privacy risks in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Skills and attributes for success

• Demonstrated ability to build a deep understanding of clients’ industries, risk environments, and emerging trends, and translate those insights into practical investigation and risk‑mitigation strategies.
• Strong experience leading OSINT‑driven investigations using publicly available, social media, and online sources to support matters such as insider threat, misconduct, fraud, litigation, and reputational risk.
• Ability to design, oversee, and quality‑review structured, defensible OSINT methodologies, including source validation, corroboration, event reconstruction, and documentation suitable for legal scrutiny.
• Advanced analytical and critical‑thinking skills, with the ability to assess the relevance, reliability, and limitations of open‑source information and form clear, supportable conclusions.
• Proven client‑facing leadership, including scoping engagements, managing sensitive stakeholder relationships, and delivering practical, risk‑focused insights to legal, compliance, and executive audiences.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience producing high‑quality reports and presenting findings to senior stakeholders.
• Solid understanding of privacy, data protection, ethical considerations, and proportionality related to OSINT collection and use across jurisdictions.
• Experience managing multiple engagements and teams simultaneously in a fast‑paced consulting environment, while maintaining quality, consistency, and attention to detail.
• Collaborative leadership style, with experience coaching, reviewing, and developing junior team members within multidisciplinary forensics and risk teams.
• Bachelor’s degree, typically supported by approximately 7–12 years of
