About The Position

The Opportunity: We’re looking for a mission-driven Data Analyst to transform complex datasets, including publicly available information (PAI) and multi-source intelligence, into actionable insights. In today’s data-rich environment, success depends not just on access to information but on the ability to extract meaning from it through structured analysis, visualizations, and automation. If you bring strong analytical skills, a curiosity-driven mindset, and experience working within the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) or Department of Defense (DoD), we have an opportunity for you to make a measurable impact. As a Data Analyst on our team, you will support intelligence production by conducting exploratory and explanatory analysis on large, varied datasets. You'll clean, organize, and structure data for analysis, develop dashboards and visualizations, and support the fusion of PAI with classified sources to identify trends, highlight risk factors, and generate decision-ready intelligence. Your work will directly inform mission planning, indications and warnings, and situational awareness efforts. You’ll also help identify opportunities for automation and advanced analytics using tools, such as Python, R, or Spark. This position is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of data science and national security, combining strong technical acumen with a deep understanding of the mission environment. Join us. The world can’t wait.
