At Allstate, great things happen when our people work together to protect families and their belongings from life’s uncertainties. And for more than 90 years, our innovative drive has kept us a step ahead of our customers’ evolving needs. From advocating for seat belts, air bags and graduated driving laws, to being an industry leader in pricing sophistication, telematics, and, more recently, device and identity protection.

**For this opportunity, the business is flexible to hire at Senior Consultant, Lead Consultant, and Expert level depending on qualifications & interview evaluation.**

The Insider Threat Detection Consultant plays a key role in designing and scaling insider threat detection capabilities by translating business processes, user behavior, and existing control environments into actionable, data-driven insights. This role focuses on working across business units and risk functions to understand how the organization operates and where insider risk may exist.

This position partners closely with business stakeholders, risk partners, and technical teams to identify control gaps, behavioral patterns, and operational risks. The consultant leverages security tooling, behavioral analytics, and domain knowledge in insurance and financial services to design detection signals that are both operationally relevant and analytically sound.

The role requires strong analytical thinking, risk awareness, and technical capability to develop scalable detection use cases that improve visibility, enable proactive risk identification, and strengthen the organization’s overall insider threat posture.
