• Apply automation and AI techniques to accelerate threat analysis, pattern discovery, and hypothesis testing.
• Collaborate with cyber threat hunters and detection teams to operationalise analytics into real‑world security use cases.
• Produce high‑quality intelligence products (threat assessments, scenario analyses, briefings) for technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Provide clear, actionable recommendations to support prioritisation, mitigation, and decision‑making.
• Contribute to executive‑ready reporting by articulating threat relevance, likelihood, and potential impact to ING.
• Support situational awareness during significant cyber events or crisis situations.
• Perform continuous horizon scanning to identify emerging trends, technologies, and threat developments.
• Contribute to forward‑looking threat scenarios and forecasting to support strategic planning.
• Assess how external developments may impact ING’s threat landscape over time.
• Engage with internal stakeholders across GTM, CISO, IT, fraud, and business domains to understand intelligence requirements.
• Act as a trusted subject‑matter expert, advising stakeholders on threat relevance and security implications.
• Contribute to knowledge sharing and collaboration across teams to improve threat awareness and response.
• Work independently on complex analyses while collaborating within the Threat Intelligence team.
• Contribute to the improvement of threat intelligence processes, methodologies, and tradecraft.
• Support the development and mentoring of less experienced analysts when required.
• Ensure intelligence activities are aligned with ING policies, standards, and governance.
