  • Identify and assess vulnerabilities and technology trends to enable new collection to answer intelligence questions

  • Years of specialized experience will determine level 

  • Strong experience with Customer’s tools and report-writing methods   

  • Regional or topic-based subject matter expertise 

  • Experience with forensic analysis and media exploitation (*forensic experience not required but desired) 

  • Strong inter- and intrapersonal skills, able to communicate details clearly and effectively, both verbally and in writing   

  • Experience in HUMINT sources and collections 

  • Ability to succeed in often ambiguous, fast-paced, environments with limited supervision and competing priorities 

  • Self-starter with strong critical thinking/analytical skills, including ability to process large amounts of information, extracting relevant information and conveying findings to stakeholders 
  • Demonstrated ability to engage with partners to understand and anticipate changing needs and requirements, anticipate follow-on questions, and provide comprehensive assessments
