Location: London, Hybrid
About the Role
The Physical Security Analyst will serve as AlphaSense's on-the-ground security presence in London, UK, protecting our people, facilities, and sensitive assets across our EMEA operations. This is a broad, hands-on role that spans physical security operations, incident response, and introductory insider risk support—with a primary emphasis on physical security.
You'll own day-to-day physical security for our London office while serving as the local point of contact for security incidents and escalations. You'll work closely with AlphaSense's Insider Protection team in New York City, relaying ground-level observations, supporting risk reviews, and contributing to a regionally-informed security posture. This role is well-suited for a security professional with 4+ years of experience who is ready to take on real ownership and grow into a broader security function over time.
About the Team
This role sits within AlphaSense's Insider Protection team, which is responsible for identifying, investigating, and mitigating risks posed by trusted insiders—whether through malicious intent, negligence, or compromise. The team partners closely with HR, Legal, IT, Security Engineering, and business leadership. As the London-based member of this team, you'll bring a local perspective and on-site presence that our global team cannot replicate remotely.
What You'll Do
- Serve as the primary on-site security point of contact for AlphaSense's London office, owning day-to-day physical security operations
- Monitor and manage physical access control, visitor management, and badging—ensuring appropriate coverage and flagging anomalies
- Conduct periodic site security walk-throughs and risk assessments, recommending mitigation measures to security leadership
- Lead first-response on physical security incidents—tailgating, unauthorized access, workplace concerns—documenting findings and escalating appropriately to the NYC team
- Support access provisioning and deprovisioning processes in coordination with IT, with particular attention to high-risk joiners, movers, and leavers
- Provide physical security data and observational support (badge history, visitor logs, site context) to insider threat investigations conducted by the broader team
- Assist in identifying behavioral indicators or anomalies at the site level that may warrant further review by the Insider Protection team
- Coordinate with building management and local security vendors to maintain consistent security standards and address facility-level concerns
- Maintain clear, thorough incident logs and produce written summaries for security leadership in a format suitable for escalation or recordkeeping
- Support basic security hygiene efforts in the office environment—clean desk compliance, device handling awareness—in coordination with IT
- Liaise with local law enforcement, emergency services, or vendors as situations require
- Stay current on regional security
