• Analyse and interpret numerical and qualitative data to support clients’ strategic planning and market positioning.
• Deliver clear, engaging briefings to clients – translating complex policy landscapes and procurement dynamics into actionable insights.
• Track key government programmes, tender activity, and technology frameworks influencing public safety and security sectors.
• Work collaboratively with internal teams to enhance our data-driven intelligence products and ensure relevance to client needs.

What we’re looking for…
