Open-Source Analyst

The Opportunity:

With all the information available today, it takes a skilled intelligence analyst to know how to find and interpret the best data to give their clients the right answers. With the critical decisions made in our government every day, we need an intel analyst like you to do just that. As an Open-Source Analyst, you’ll use your specialized experience and attention to detail to develop intelligence products to give your client the actionable intelligence and context they need. If you have strong analytical skills and a problem-solving mindset, we have an opportunity to use those skills. 

As an intelligence analyst on our team, you’ll help your client understand their mission set. Using your understanding of various collection platforms, you’ll explore new data sources focusing on open-source. You’ll validate information and apply client tradecraft as you build assessments for U.S. IC-wide products. As the authority on open-source, your client will look to you for time-critical recommendations, often under pressure.

You’ll conduct all-source analytic production on sources and products of information available from public, private, and U.S. and foreign Government open-source materials within established security protocols. You’ll analyze foreign and domestic-based publicly available information to identify trends, patterns, and relationships that provide unique insights to address defense intelligence requirements, serve as an intelligence analyst responsible for open-source intelligence analysis, and aid with intelligence support for contingency operations, operational and strategic-level planning, Joint and multi-lateral training exercises, and strategic engagement policy in various regions. You’ll generate written intelligence products in accordance with IC Tradecraft Standards, using a wide range of open-source resources and tools and briefing analysis to senior DoD leaders to support Priority Intelligence and Operational Requirements and timelines.

This is a chance to grow your expertise, develop new skills, and share your methodologies with other analysts. We focus on growing as a team to deliver the best support to our customers, so you’ll have resources for mentoring and learning new skills and tools. Work with us as we provide the right information at the right time to support the critical needs of our nation's leaders.
