Senior Threat Intelligence Analyst

You’re the kind of person who sees a new threat campaign and immediately wants to know how it works, who it’s targeting, and what defenders can do about it. You know strong threat intelligence is more than collecting indicators or summarizing external reports. It means connecting intelligence from multiple sources, understanding how threat actors operate, and turning that information into something useful for analysts, detection engineers, customers, and business leaders. You enjoy digging into real incidents, identifying root causes and attacker behavior, and helping others understand what matters. You’re equally comfortable working through IOCs and TTPs with security practitioners or translating the same findings into clear guidance for a less technical audience. At Expel, you’ll serve as a senior contributor and subject matter expert helping mature our threat intelligence capabilities. You’ll analyze threats observed across our Security Operations Center alongside external intelligence sources, help prioritize the intelligence that creates the greatest operational value, and partner with teams across the business to strengthen how we protect our customers. Does that sound like the kind of work you’d love to own? We’d like to hear from you.
