Digital Research Specialist

Mclean, VA

Orbis is a technology company that delivers sovereign intelligence and decision capabilities to the United States Government and its allies. We convert complex information and operational systems into decisive outcomes, giving public institutions and critical enterprises the tools to move faster, see clearer, and act first in an increasingly contested world.

We are not a consulting firm and not a systems integrator. Every Orbis team is built around practitioners who have operated at the mission edge, and every engagement is judged on one thing: whether it produces working capability, not slide decks. Solutions forged from experience; that is how we build, and it is how we hire.

Orbis is seeking a Digital Research Specialist for a mission critical customer in the Intelligence Community. The Specialist will be responsible for finding unique ways to leverage an array of tools and methodologies to conduct open-source research to assist our customers in planning and evaluating activities. This is a multi-year project with growing potential, on which the specialist will have the opportunity to demonstrate intellectual agility by exploring and leading cutting-edge research design, data collection, and data analysis for a client in the US Intelligence Community, all centered around the open-source environment.

This project features the opportunity to interact with a wide range of key stakeholders, including those at senior levels. This is an exciting opportunity for an intellectually curious, energetic researcher to work on a project with real impact helping our client develop ways of better meeting the needs of its customers. The position is remote with a once-a-week requirement for McLean office consultations for a portion of the day.

• Develop and implement research designs centered around social media and open-source systems with practical strategies for conducting evaluations of policies, processes, programs, and training
• Work cross functionally to develop and implement a team of social media experts to assist in our customers’
