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.

• 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.

Required Qualifications

• 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, Shadow Dragon, 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
