The Watch Desk Analyst (Brand & Cyber Focus) is an entry-level role within the Global Security Operations Center, supporting the company’s security intelligence work.

In this role, you will help identify and assess online risks that may affect the company, its customers, executives and employees. This includes monitoring public sources and security platforms for phishing, impersonation, fake apps, fraudulent ads, suspicious domains, leaked-data claims, scams and reputational risks.

This is a hands-on role for someone who is curious, detail-oriented and comfortable working with online information. You should be able to investigate, separate what matters from what does not, and communicate your findings clearly, especially when time matters.

  • Monitor public sources and security tools to identify potential risks involving the company’s brand, customers, executives and employees.
  • Review alerts related to phishing, impersonation, fake apps, fraudulent ads, suspicious domains, leaked data and online scams.
  • Check whether findings are relevant, credible and urgent, and escalate the right cases to the right teams.
  • Write clear and timely updates to help teams understand what happened, why it matters and what should happen next.
  • Support brand protection and takedown efforts by collecting evidence, documenting findings and following up on suspicious content.
  • Look for repeated patterns across cases, helping the team spot recurring actors, tactics and abuse trends.
