About The Position

The Senior Strategic and Operational Intelligence Analyst delivers proactive, forward-looking analysis of the cyber threat landscape and translates it into direction and action for Humana’s information security organization. The role sets the strategic threat picture that guides CTI collection, processing, and analysis, and supports proactive countermeasures intended to reduce Humana’s exposure before threats materialize. In collaboration with operational analysts, the analyst connects strategic assessments to operational outcomes by shaping CTI tracking, partner actions, and preparedness priorities. The analyst works directly with threat and security data, explores patterns, tests hypotheses, and combines quantitative evidence with qualitative intelligence to produce defensible assessments and practical recommendations. The role also applies AI and automation to identify priority issues, anticipate changes in the threat landscape, and improve the speed and impact of intelligence work. This is a remote position. Occasional travel to Humana offices for training or meetings may be required. Employees working from home or a hybrid home/office arrangement must have internet service with at least 25 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload speeds and a dedicated work space without ongoing interruptions to protect member PHI/HIPAA information. The position is scheduled for 40 hours per week and is not eligible for work visa sponsorship.
