Security Intelligence Analyst, AWS Security

About the role

Ready to take on challenges at the leading edge of geopolitics and technology, and shape the future of cloud security? Our team does this every day. We are looking for a security professional with classic intelligence analysis experience, and expertise in geopolitical and security risk management to join us.

• Plan, manage the production cycle, and deliver short- and long-form risk intelligence products, position papers, and other narrative documents
• Manage a portfolio that includes security risk and intelligence responsibilities for AWS global infrastructure investments, enterprise efforts, and specialty projects
• Communicate intelligence analysis, risk assessments, and security guidance to diverse audiences effectively through written narratives, group discussions, and one-to-one conversations
• Be able to travel domestically and internationally, as needed

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience conducting intelligence analysis and producing finished written intelligence products as an individual contributor
• 5+ years of professional experience conducting geopolitical risk analysis or security risk management, and evidence of professional training in foundational intelligence analysis
• 3+ years of managing a portfolio or program of analysis including direct involvement in the writing, editing, coordination, and publishing of multiple finished intelligence products or geopolitical risk reports within a given issue, functional, or geographic focus area
• Bachelor's degree in business, international relations, or a security-related field or equivalent work experience

• 8+ years of security-related professional experience
• Experience working closely with and advising senior executives of an organization or equivalent
• Certification or equivalent training or professional experience in one or more of the following disciplines: project or program management, risk management; design thinking or human-centered design
• Knowledge, training, or professional experience in one or more of the following areas: information security or cybersecurity; cloud infrastructure/services; artificial intelligence/machine learning; science and technology policy; data science; quantitative methods for intelligence analysis
