Managing Intelligence Analyst - Birmingham

Job Description

We're looking for a talented Managing Intelligence Analyst to primarily support our Counter Fraud team and the Fraud and Financial Crime practice area. At Browne Jacobson, our intelligence capability sits at the intersection of legal expertise and investigative excellence. This is a rare opportunity to join a national law firm at the heart of its growing intelligence function - working across fraud investigations, corporate due diligence and litigation support alongside some of the UK's leading lawyers. You'll deliver expert analytical support across a diverse national client base, and you'll be passionate about developing the role as an integral part of the firm's legal services.

The role

This is a fee-earning intelligence role at the heart of our Counter Fraud team and Fraud and Financial Crime practice area, based in our Birmingham office and serving clients nationally. As Managing Intelligence Analyst, you will conduct complex OSINT investigations and deliver analysis that directly shapes client outcomes — from uncovering fraud and tracing assets to supporting high-value business transactions and civil litigation matters. You will work side by side with specialist lawyers across our offices in Birmingham, London, Manchester, Exeter, Cardiff, Nottingham and Dublin, becoming a trusted partner to colleagues in counter fraud, employment, commercial litigation and beyond.

What You'll Be Doing

• Conducting detailed OSINT desktop investigations and intelligence enquiries and analysis, and preparing reports and recommendations for clients.
• Providing ad hoc intelligence advice and investigation support to the Counter Fraud and wider client teams; preparing witness statements; preserving searches and intelligence enquiries as court-ready evidence; and attending court as required.
• Independently managing GDPR-compliant DPA requests to other insurers and businesses (including IFIG and DVLA vehicle histories) and completing UK GDPR/DPA-compliant information requests in a timely fashion on instruction from fee earners and/or clients.

What We're Looking For

• Full working knowledge of OSINT tools and industry-standard validation tools used to verify identity, financial information, and locate assets.
• Understanding of fraud risk management, fraud vulnerabilities, and the investigation skills required to address them, including experience of tools used to investigate fraud, financial crime, and cyber vulnerabilities within organisations.
• Demonstrable intelligence, investigation, or security/enforcement agency experience, or equivalent in an insurance, business fraud, or criminal investigation setting.
