About The Position

Moonshot is recruiting an Intelligence Analyst to join our threat monitoring team. In this role, you will conduct daily monitoring and OSINT investigations into online threats, lead the development of risk assessments, provide expert guidance to clients, and contribute to producing high quality, actionable insights. You will work across the full intelligence cycle. This includes defining intelligence requirements, conducting ongoing monitoring across client accounts, and running discrete digital investigations into specific incidents. The role requires you to meet a dynamic set of client needs and think creatively, distilling large volumes of social media and open source data into clear, actionable analysis for a range of stakeholders. As part of a growing team, you will also help identify ways to improve our investigative processes and methodology. Candidates must be based in MA, CO, NY, VA, GA, PA, MD, WI, TN, OR, NJ, or DC. Occasional travel may be required.

Requirements

Professional experience conducting OSINT investigations or intelligence analysis, gained within a government agency, fusion center, law enforcement body, corporate or executive security function, GSOC, or a comparable intelligence background.
Strong OSINT skills and social media investigation experience, with the ability to work independently through large, messy datasets.
Demonstrated understanding of the intelligence cycle, including defining requirements, building a collection plan, and producing analysis from it.
Sound judgment on threat credibility, able to assess risk based on intent and capability rather than volume of activity alone.
Ability to manage competing deadlines and shifting priorities across multiple accounts without sacrificing quality.
Strong problem solving skills, comfortable working through ambiguous or incomplete information to reach a sound conclusion.
Strong written communication skills, with the ability to translate findings into clear, actionable outputs.
Track record of producing investigative or intelligence products for internal or client stakeholders.
Comfortable regularly reviewing sensitive and potentially distressing content, including material related to violence, abuse, or exploitation.
Strong collaborator, able to work well within a team and build trust with colleagues and clients alike.
Willingness to occasionally be on call and work outside regular hours for urgent client needs or special events.
Candidates must be eligible to work in the US, and will be required to undertake and pass a standard background check, along with any relevant security clearance procedures per client needs.
