About The Position

As an Analyst at Thomson Reuters Special Services (TRSS), you will perform a range of research and analytical work, including due diligence assessments and threat management reports. You will use publicly available information and proprietary data to develop relevant, insightful products that support the national security community, the U.S. military, law enforcement, and the private sector. This role requires full-time, onsite work in New York City; remote and hybrid work are not options for this position. The Analyst provides onsite client support and delivers research, analysis, and guidance using public records, proprietary data, social media, and other open-source data. The role also involves developing expertise in TRSS data and technology solutions, communicating actionable insights through varied media, collaborating with clients and colleagues, taking ownership of increasingly complex work, and contributing to analytic development, mentorship, and training. Employment is contingent on clearing a customer-specific background investigation. Because the role provides access to highly sensitive public-record information, periodic background checks apply. U.S. citizenship is essential, and the candidate must be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. national security clearance.
