• Analyze threat-finance indicators (bulk cash, TBML, crypto-enabled flows) and support counter-threat finance actions.
• Develop link charts, target-system models, and targeting packages; maintain auditable entity and event data.
• Produce concise, policy-relevant products (briefs, INTSUMs, estimates) for senior leaders and operational partners.
• Collaborate with interagency/IC/DoD/LE partners; contribute to working groups and joint operational planning.
• Deliver stakeholder briefings and respond to RFIs with traceable, standards-compliant analytic tradecraft.

• Active TS/SCI security clearance.
• Bachelor's degree in Intelligence, National Security, Criminal Justice, International Affairs, or a related field.
• 12+ years of relevant analytical experience (CD/CTF/TOC or closely related mission areas).
• Demonstrated expertise in multi-INT fusion, network analysis, and operationally focused target development.
• Proficiency with link-analysis, geospatial, and investigative databases/tools, plus Microsoft Office.
• Exceptional writing, briefing, and stakeholder engagement skills; meticulous sourcing and QA/QC discipline.

• Experience supporting NTC, DEA, HSI, FBI, Treasury/OFAC, or Joint/IC task forces.
• Hands-on counter-threat finance investigations, including SAR/BSA exploitation and crypto-asset tracing.
• Regional depth (e.g., Western Hemisphere) or functional specialization (precursor chemicals, TBML, corruption, illicit procurement).
• Professional certifications or formal training in intelligence analysis, financial crimes, or AML/CFT frameworks.
