The National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) leads the nation's effort to protect the United States from terrorism by integrating, analyzing and sharing information to drive whole-of-government action and achieve our national CT objectives.
The National Counterterrorism Center's Counterterrorism Executive (NCTC/CTX) is seeking an exceptional, experienced GS-14 Senior Targeting Analyst with strong leadership, tradecraft, and interpersonal skills to serve as an analyst in NCTC/CTX.
Provide leadership and expert guidance to the planning, analysis, and application of a full-range of methodological tools and approaches to gain a comprehensive understanding of complex analytical issues and incorporate insights and findings into well-crafted, in-depth intelligence products. The analyst will use network analysis techniques and specialized analytical tools to identify and detail key figures and organizations who may pose a threat to US interests.
The analyst will work within CTX to help position CTX to leverage DOMEX data to analyze threats, warn of new threats, and deliver value-added, timely data analytic services and reports to a broad range of customers and partners.
Using advanced targeting knowledge and experience, the analyst will help drive comprehensive targeting analysis of data obtained from media exploitation, while incorporating other INTs, to drive actionable, operational reporting to support US Intelligence Community and US Federal Law Enforcement (FLE) partners. The analyst will work across the CTX to innovate, apply, and integrate digital forensic analyses into analytic production.
Help develop and sustain partnerships with both internal and external customers and stakeholders, providing tailored analytic support, as needed. Facilitate access to Community exploitation resources and interact with seized media owners, producers, and consumers to improve discovery and use of DOMEX-derived information. Explore emerging technologies and other means to help automate discovery and access to relevant information in disparate seized media datasets.
Assist with the examination of raw data from exploited devices, construct cables and FINTEL, support ad-hoc requests, assist with developing programmatic documentation, and interact with the relevant DOMEX and targeting units at IC, DoD, and FLE agencies. Actively participate in initiatives that advance the Center's DOMEX goals and help pioneer exploitation activities to provide relevant analytic and technical reporting of DOMEX.
Drive the CTX's conceptualization of complex DOMEX technical intelligence discoveries and effectively communicate complex concepts to a lay audience in timely and relevant DOMEX-driven products. Conduct and produce tactical, multidisciplinary, and strategic analysis that supports key US national security and foreign policy objectives and helps shape IC analysis and priorities.
