Analytic Methodologist - Senior Security Clearance

Position: Analytic Methodologist - Senior with Security Clearance
Vantor is forging the new frontier of spatial intelligence, helping decision makers and operators navigate what's happening now and shape what's coming next. Vantor is a place for problem solvers, changemakers, and go-getters-where people are working together to help our customers see the world differently, and in doing so, be seen differently. Come be part of a mission, not just a job, where you can:
Shape your own future, build the next big thing, and change the world. To be eligible for this position, you must be a U.S. Person, defined as a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, Asylee, or Refugee. Note on Cleared Roles:
If this position requires an active U.S. Government security clearance, applicants who do not currently hold the required clearance will not be eligible for consideration. Employment for cleared roles is contingent upon verification of clearance status. Export Control/ITAR:
Certain roles may be subject to U.S. export control laws, requiring U.S. person status as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3). Please review the job details below. This position requires an active U.S. Government Security Clearance at the TS/SCI level with an in-scope CI poly. We're hiring multiple Analytic Methodologists to join our team. In this position you will support the development of analytic strategies to resolve key intelligence questions of mission-driven requirements.

Analytic Methodologists will support a dynamic Object-Based Intelligence (OBI) program focused on predictive analytics, structured methodologies, and semantic integration across the defense intelligence mission set. This role involves designing and recommending analytic strategies, developing repeatable workflows, and engineering knowledge models to support anticipatory intelligence across a wide range of national security domains-including emerging technologies, geopolitical trends, military capabilities, and threat networks.

Responsibilities: A day in the life/What the position will be doing:
* Deconstruct complex and ambiguous intelligence questions to recommend structured analytic methodologies tailored to mission requirements.

* Evaluate and adapt existing analytic models, algorithms, and frameworks to improve objectivity, completeness, and predictive value of intelligence production.

* Design, develop, and maintain domain-specific ontologies to enable semantic representation of data inputs, facilitating integration of data sources and interoperability with internal and external OMSs.

* Design, develop, and maintain knowledge graphs leveraging domain-specific ontologies to support advance data querying, data visualization, and integration of intelligence function via OBI standards.

* Apply semantic web standards (e.g., RDF, OWL, SPARQL) to knowledge model entities, relationships, and vocabularies in accordance with industry and government data standards.

* Establish processes for ontology version control, change management, stakeholder and governance review to ensure accuracy, consistency, and compliance with IC and DoD policies and standards.

* Collaborate with team members to enhance semantic data retrieval and reasoning across knowledge graphs through development and optimization of data queries via multiple protocols (e.g., Graph

QL, SPARQL, SHACL, SQL).

* Collaborate with team members to validate and refine exploratory efforts to automate ontologies and associated components to ensure semantic accuracy, relevance, and interoperability with existing knowledge modeling and knowledge graph capabilities.

* Collaborate with team members to evaluate effectiveness of exploratory efforts to automate ontology and associated component generation leveraging qualitative and quantitative metrics.

* Support capability development by contributing, editing, and storing ontologies and knowledge models in Government owned/controlled source version control repositories.

Minimum Qualifications:

* Must be a US citizen and have an active TS/SCI with CI poly.

* 12 years of experience and an advanced degree

* Experience with structured analytic methods and designing repeatable analytic processes.

* Familiarity with semantic technologies and ontology development tools (e.g., Protégé).

* Excellent oral and written communication skills with an ability to tailor to technical and non-technical audiences.

* Possesses knowledge and experience of advanced analytics and data storage.

* Knowledge of various data science applications and architectures.

Experience with Python.

Preferred Qualifications:

* Ability to synthesize abstract concepts into actionable intelligence products.

* Experience applying predictive analytics to strategic intelligence problems across multiple domains.

* Develops and employs strategies to analyze key issues, draw conclusions from data, and recommend viable solutions to address customer mission needs.
* Ability to lead multi-disciplinary teams to complete complex data science projects.

* Experienced in applying statistical and data visualization skills.

* Strong…
