ABOUT US
We’re the world’s leading provider of secure financial messaging services, headquartered in Belgium. We are the way the world moves value – across borders, through cities and overseas. No other organisation can address the scale, precision, pace and trust that this demands, and we’re proud to support the global economy.
We’re unique too. We were established to find a better way for the global financial community to move value – a reliable, safe and secure approach that the community can trust, completely. We’re always striving to be better and are constantly evolving in an ever-changing landscape, without undermining that trust. Five decades on, our vibrant community reflects the complexity and diversity of the financial ecosystem. We innovate diligently, test exhaustively, then implement fast. In a connected and exciting era, our mission has never been more relevant. Swift now has a presence in 200+ countries and legal territories to serve a community of more than 12,000 banks and financial institutions.
Key Responsibilities
As a junior threat intelligence analyst you will be part of our Cyber Threat Management and serve the organisation and stakeholders globally. You will be integrated within our 'cyber threat intelligence program' which directs our global efforts to identify and manage threats to Swift. In this team you will work directly together with (senior) analysts and report to the head of Cyber Threat Intelligence.
Below we listed some examples of what we envision you to be involved with. We recognize that most of these efforts will also be tailored to the individual, so don't worry if not everything makes sense:
- Conducting open source intelligence collection using various tools and sources and performing research tasks. Processing data from a variety of sources to enable the production of intelligence products on tactical, operational and strategic level. Bringing value to the company every day.
- Compile, verify accuracy and sort information according to organizational priorities and stakeholder needs to prepare source data for computer entry. Working continuously to ensure that our stakeholders receive the intelligence they require at the moment that they need it. Contributing to intelligence products and supporting investigations when needed.
- Analysing and storing data and information in our central repositories, following to our standards and guidelines. Insert threat information by inputting text-based, numerical and data from source documents into internal repository within time limits. Helping us learn and improve from your expertise as well.
- Conduct (in-person or virtual) threat-based briefings to internal stakeholders. Enabling collaboration with various security & business functions in the company by arranging information sharing sessions to stay up-to-date with cyber security development and the evolving threat landscape
There are many more things we do on a daily basis. These are just relevant examples. In a personal conversation we will provide you more examples and we will articulate how the junior analyst role relates to our daily efforts.
Competency Profile
This vacancy concerns an entry level position. As such, we do not have similar requirements as we would have for more senior roles. We do have some specific requirements, because we believe these will allow you to be successful at Swift:

- We believe it is useful to be accurate and methodical. Combining this with communication skills will allow you to build a structured and data driven story. In addition, you will be capable of effectively managing workload and time to meet deadlines.
- Finally, you will be working in a global team with people from various backgrounds, gender, and dispositions. It is important that you have an open and constructive mindset when working together. This will allow you to seek opportunities to work together and support each other in contributing towards our mission.
