• Apply predictive analytics to anticipate threat actor behavior and provide preemptive risk-reduction recommendations.
• Use intelligence platforms and tools to hunt through datasets, identifying indicators of threat activity.
• Provide real-time context to threats impacting security operations.
• Collaborate with internal teams and managed services partners in dynamic, cross-functional environments.
• Mentor junior analysts and contribute to team development.
• Lead and prioritize investigations, threat cases, and strategic intelligence initiatives under management direction.

Required Qualifications:

• 7+ years in an intelligence or cybersecurity role, with at least 3 years in cyber threat intelligence.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field—or 5+ years in a security-focused position.
• Recognized certifications (e.g., CISSP, SANS) strongly preferred.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Deep understanding of IT infrastructure, cyber threat landscapes, and adversary TTPs.
• Proficient in intelligence lifecycle processes and tradecraft.
• Hands-on experience in vulnerability assessment, penetration testing concepts, and forensics.
• Familiarity with the MITRE attack framework and the cyber kill chain.
• Experience working with intelligence tools and analyzing large datasets.
• Able to lift 25 lbs. and interpret color-coded visualizations.

Preferred Skills & Experience:

• 5+ years of direct experience using threat intelligence to proactively reduce cyber risk.
• Experience analyzing sandbox, behavioral, or reverse engineering reports.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity technologies (SIEM, IDS/IPS, EDR), and tools like Microsoft Office and ServiceNow.
