Lead Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst

About the role

Lead the Cyber Threat Intelligence function for a federal enterprise cybersecurity program operating within government-controlled secure facilities. The CTI function is the program’s strategic intelligence capability — identifying real and potential threats to computing infrastructure, reviewing and responding to Prioritized Intelligence Requirements (PIRs), and disseminating classified threat briefings and reports that drive both operational response and long-range risk management decisions.

Responsibilities

• Lead the Cyber Threat Intelligence function; set analytical standards, manage team workload, and serve as the senior intelligence authority for all CTI products and assessments
• Identify potential and real threats to enterprise computing infrastructure, across classified and unclassified source streams; assess threat actor intent, capability, and opportunity
• Develop and communicate risk mitigation strategies based on current threat intelligence; translate analytical findings into actionable defensive recommendations for security operations and program leadership
• Review, manage, and respond to Prioritized Intelligence Requirements (PIRs); ensure the CTI team’s collection and production efforts are aligned with the most critical information needs
• Produce and disseminate classified cyber threat briefings and reports; deliver finished intelligence to government leadership and operational teams at both strategic and tactical levels
• Integrate all-source intelligence — classified, open-source, and technical — into comprehensive threat assessments that reflect the full intelligence picture
• Apply Threat/Warning Analysis tradecraft to deliver early indications and warnings of emerging cyber threats, adversary campaigns, and shifts in threat actor behavior
• Cook up with SOC, incident response, and threat hunting teams to ensure CTI products are operationally relevant and drive detection and response improvements
• Maintain classified access and handle all intelligence products in accordance with applicable security protocols within government-controlled secure facilities
• Ensure CTI team compliance with NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework role-based training requirements
• Develop and maintain intelligence production standards, product templates, and analytical procedures that ensure consistency and quality across the CTI function

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Intelligence Studies, Political Science, Computer Science, Information Security, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 7 to 10 years of intelligence-related experience with a focus on cyber threat analysis and finished intelligence production
• Demonstrated experience in Threat/Warning Analysis (NICE: AN-TWA-001) and All-Source Analysis (NICE: AN-ASA-001) competency areas
• Experience leading or managing a CTI team or intelligence production function
• Active Top Secret/SCI clearance (Final) required
• Must work onsite within a government-controlled secure facility
• Deep experience identifying and assessing real and potential cyber threats to enterprise computing infrastructure using structured analytic tradecraft
• Proficiency producing finished all-source intelligence products: threat assessments, warning products, PIR responses, and classified briefings at both strategic and tactical levels
• Experience reviewing and managing Prioritized Intelligence Requirements (PIRs) and aligning production efforts to collection priorities
• Demonstrated experience disseminating classified cyber threat briefings and reports to senior government and operational audiences
• Hands-on experience applying Threat/Warning Analysis tradecraft including Early Indications and Warnings methodologies
• Experience integrating classified, open-source, and technical intelligence streams into comprehensive finished products
• Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK and D3FEND frameworks applied to threat actor profiling and analytical product development
• Familiarity with FISMA and NIST SP 800 series as they apply to intelligence-informed risk management
• Experience building or maturing a CTI function from early capability to full production maturity

Qualifications

• One or more of the following is required or strongly preferred: GCTI (GIAC Cyber Threat Intelligence), CISM (Certified Information Security Manager), CISSP, CySA+, or equivalent senior intelligence or security credential
• Role-based training required per NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework AN-TWA-001 and AN-ASA-001 — must be current or completed within required timeframes

Skills

• Analytically authoritative: your assessments are grounded in evidence, structured in tradecraft, and defensible under peer and leadership review
• Audience-calibrated communicator — your classified briefings land with senior government leadership and your tactical products are equally actionable for SOC operators
• Operationally connected: you build CTI products that drive decisions and detection improvements, not just analytical archives
