Threat Intelligence Specialist

• Continuously monitor competitor, product, underwriting, pricing, distribution, technology, and market signals to identify meaningful shifts, risks, and opportunities.
• Translate raw intelligence into concise executive-ready outputs using the Insight → Implication → Action framework.
• Build and maintain the core CI toolkit over time, beginning with a market watch summary, competitor moves log, source library, and focused competitor profiles, then expanding into scorecards, battlecards, dashboards, and quarterly executive reviews as the function matures.
• Prioritize CI work based on decision impact, repeatability, and feasibility, ensuring the function produces fewer, sharper outputs rather than broad reporting that cannot be sustained.
• Conduct ad hoc deep dives on competitor moves, new entrants, partner opportunities, pricing changes, underwriting shifts, and distribution dynamics.
• Analyze where the company is winning or losing in the market and help identify the underlying drivers behind performance gaps.
• Partner with Product, Underwriting, Distribution, Marketing, Sales, and other cross-functional teams to validate findings and convert insights into action.
• Support quarterly executive competitive reviews, monthly market summaries, and rapid-response briefs for time-sensitive competitive developments.
• Build and maintain the SharePoint-based CI intelligence hub, including competitor profiles, source library, market watch archive, decision briefs, and competitor moves log.
• Use AI-enabled tools and workflow automation to accelerate signal gathering, summarize recurring sources, classify competitive moves, and improve consistency of outputs while maintaining human judgment and source validation.
