Generalist Analyst - Platform Risk Intelligence - Child Safety at Resolver in Leeds, United Kingdom

Job description

• Position at Resolver
• The protection of children and vulnerable users has been fundamental to Resolver-Crisp's mission since day one. Every year we protect millions of the most vulnerable from the most egregious forms of exploitation. By combining Artificial and Human Intelligence, we deliver 24/7/365 early-warning risk intelligence to leading brands, global enterprises and social media platforms — stopping grooming, exploitation, disinformation and hate speech before they spread. It is only in diversity that we can tackle problems of this scale: our analysts come from a wide range of nationalities, cultural backgrounds and together speak over 50 languages.
• We’re looking for a dedicated and resilient Generalist Analyst to join our Child Safety vertical. This role is built for someone who wants their daily work to have a direct, real-world impact on protecting children. Acting as our first line of defense, your core responsibility will be to proactively identify, analyze, and swiftly escalate online harms to children—ensuring that risks are neutralized and the internet remains a safe environment for everyone.

Responsibilities

• Detect, investigate and analyse online threats involving child sexual abuse material (CSAM), grooming behaviours and child exploitation, using OSINT techniques and, where relevant, personas.
• Translate unstructured open-source intelligence into clear, well-structured, timely intelligence alerts and reports for clients and, where appropriate, law enforcement partners.
• Track evolving language, coded terms and evasive tactics used by bad actors across messaging apps and closed groups.
• Look ahead of emerging risks for clients, proactively identifying subjects of interest.
• Provide rapid, high-quality analytical support during urgent safety incidents or emerging trend spikes.

Requirements

• Demonstrable knowledge and experience in the online child safety/risk space, ideally with subject matter depth in child endangerment.
• Ability to undertake research tasks, using different sources (i.e. dark web tools).
• Knowledge and experience using social media platforms, translation tools, reverse image searches.
• Confident working under pressure and time constraints.
• Secondary language is beneficial but not required.
• Experience in a research, safeguarding, intelligence or similar role — data collection, analysis or intelligence operations across law enforcement, NGOs or major tech platforms is valuable.
• Strong research and report-writing skills, critical thinking, and attention to detail; fluent English and a degree-level qualification or equivalent experience.
• High emotional resilience and discretion — this role involves regular exposure to distressing material and requires strict adherence to confidentiality protocols.
• Ability to prioritise and manage deadlines across multiple cases; creativity and flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances.
• Familiarity with OSINT tooling; SQL/Python or data manipulation skills are a plus but not required.
• Working hours are Monday to Friday daytime with weekend rotation as required.
