This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 3544 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 31% sure that is the right code. Schillings is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 3319 (Protective service associate professionals not elsewhere classified), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Schillings what the duties actually are.

Division: Investigations, Security and Diplomacy (ISD)
Job Title: Analyst, Investigations
Reporting to: Associate, Investigations
Job Purpose
As an Analyst, you will have strong research skills and a problem-solving investigative mindset. You will conduct thorough and accurate open source (OSINT) research across multiple jurisdictions on a variety of matters – ranging from privacy exposure assessments to asset tracing to threat analysis and complex investigative and intelligence gathering assignments.
You will support and help develop investigative strategies by analysing information in a creative manner; considering innovative ways to uncover information; test the validity and accuracy of sources; and determine how to most effectively and clearly convey research results.
Analysts are responsible for drafting memos and reports in a detailed and clear manner and as required, will prepare other materials, such as data visualisations. Given the often fast-paced nature of Schillings’ work, individuals who are highly responsive, detail-oriented and excel at time management will be particularly successful in this role.
You will deliver work product directly to firm-wide matter managers. There will be opportunities to work closely across teams, including Legal, Digital Resilience and Strategic Communications.
You will be provided on-the-job training to support your development as an investigator. This training will include sessions on public domain research techniques and the use of key databases and social media platforms, among other topics. In addition, the Investigations, Security and Diplomacy team prides itself on close collaboration and communication; there is continuous knowledge-sharing on research techniques, technical knowledge, and investigative experiences amongst team members across various forums.
