Target Digital Network Analyst 2
Job description
About the role
You will be positioned at the heart of an award-winning corporate culture where your work directly breaks technological barriers to solve real-world problems for federal government customers. In this role, you own the conduct of advanced analysis on both collection and open-source data to generate actionable intelligence and leads. You are responsible for ensuring target continuity by meticulously profiling targets and their activities while developing refined techniques to extract additional target information. You will maintain intricate databases that support targeting, tasking, and comprehensive analysis efforts. A core part of your ownership involves developing detailed baseline profiles for designated target sets to establish a clear understanding of their operations. You will identify critical intelligence gaps and tailor current collection methods or enable new collection streams to close those gaps effectively. Furthermore, you apply multiple analysis disciplines, including sophisticated pattern recognition against targets' communications, network usage, and digital footprints. You are expected to mentor other analysts on the tools and methodologies used to conduct Target Digital Network Analysis, fostering a culture of shared knowledge and technical excellence.
