About The Position

Noblis is seeking a Senior Intelligence Analyst to provide intelligence analysis and requirements management support to the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Science & Technology Directorate (S&T). This role is within a front office organization focused on integrating intelligence into S&T's strategic planning and decision-making processes. The analyst will ensure R&D priorities are informed by the latest threat reporting and intelligence assessments. The successful candidate will apply the intelligence cycle to S&T decision-making, integrating relevant reporting, capturing and validating S&T requirements, and disseminating them to the Intelligence Community (IC) via DHS Intelligence & Analysis (I&A). This support aims to ensure stakeholders understand intelligence products, can refine their requirements, and can identify technical gaps, opportunities, and risks that guide R&D priorities, predictive modeling, risk assessments, and technical evaluations. The role involves monitoring intelligence updates, informing leadership on alignment with S&T's strategic priorities, contributing to executive-level daily intelligence briefings, and translating complex intelligence assessments into actionable insights for diverse audiences. The candidate will work closely with federal counterparts in a small, high-impact team, requiring initiative, independence, and minimal oversight. The position requires the candidate to be self-motivated, operate effectively in a matrixed environment, manage competing priorities, and bridge the gap between intelligence analysis and science and technology decision-making. This position requires staff to be in-person at the DHS client site in Washington, DC (Anacostia metro station) and at additional locations in the National Capital Region as needed in accordance with the requirements of the contract five (5) days per week.
