All-Source Intelligence Analyst – Space Operations
Location: Colorado Springs, CO (100% on-site) | Clearance: Active TS/SCI required
About the Role
Saratoga Federal is seeking an All-Source Intelligence Analyst to support military space and tactical operations. In this role, you will leverage Publicly Available Information (PAI), commercial data, and open-source intelligence (OSINT) to evaluate complex operating environments, track adversarial narrative shifts, and deliver rapid, decision-quality assessments to warfighters and operational commanders. You will serve as the analytical bridge between multi-source information environments and tactical space mission planning — identifying emerging indicators and warnings (I&W) and assessing cognitive and information-space dynamics.
Responsibilities
- PAI & Open-Source Exploitation: Monitor, harvest, and evaluate complex datasets from global open sources, commercial feeds, social media, and deep/dark web environments to identify threats and foreign space/counterspace activities.
- Narrative & Information Tracking: Map foreign information manipulation, influence activities, and shifting operational narratives affecting U.S. and allied space capabilities.
- Rapid Operational Assessments: Produce high-velocity intelligence products, threat summaries, and situational updates supporting tactical planning, mission assurance, and crisis response.
- Indicator & Warning (I&W) Analysis: Detect early-stage operational anomalies, launch/deployment indicators, regulatory shifts, and commercial space developments through multi-source correlation.
- Stakeholder Integration: Collaborate with mission planners, commercial telemetry providers, Intelligence Community counterparts, and military leadership to integrate PAI findings into operational battle rhythms.
- Briefings & Product Delivery: Author concise analytical white papers, daily executive roundups, and intelligence graphics tailored for operational commanders and senior civilian leadership.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Intelligence Studies, International Relations, National Security, Data Analytics, Computer Science, or a related field.
- 8+ years of intelligence analysis, PAI/OSINT exploitation, or tactical information operations experience within the DoD, Intelligence Community, or defense industry.
- Demonstrated proficiency in advanced open-source tradecraft, social network analysis (SNA), threat actor tracking, and information verification techniques.
- Working knowledge of space operations, space domain awareness (SDA) concepts, orbital systems, or military command-and-control structures.
- Active Top Secret/SCI security clearance.
- Ability to work 100% on-site in Colorado Springs, CO.
Preferred Qualifications
- Operational intelligence experience supporting USSF, SpOC, STARCOM, or USSPACECOM.
- Hands-on proficiency with modern PAI and big-data analytical toolsets (e.g., Dataminr, Babel Street, Sayari, Palantir, ShadowDragon, Maltego, or commercial satellite tracking aggregators).
- Professional working proficiency in a critical foreign language (e.g., Mandarin Chinese or Russian).
- Experience applying structured analytical techniques (SATs) in fast-paced operational workflows.
Pay
$110,000 – $135,000 annually.
