• Supervise, mentor, and direct subordinate analysts, ensuring analytic rigor and timely delivery.

• Integrate multi-INT reporting into targeting solutions and recommend collection tasking to meet targeting objectives.

• Ensure all targeting and analytic activities comply with legal, policy, and classification requirements.

• 8+ years of all-source intelligence analyst experience at the full performance level.

• 5+ years working for or with USSOCOM/SOF or national-level intelligence agencies (e.g., NSA, CIA, DIA).

• 3+ years providing intelligence support to special operations.

• 3+ years of targeting experience within the past 5 years.

• 3+ years producing formal finished intelligence assessments and targeting packages.

• Demonstrated experience preparing and delivering intelligence briefings at the Colonel (O-6) / GS-15 level or higher.

• Superior proficiency with all-source analytic techniques, methodologies, and modern analytic tools/automation.

• Advanced knowledge of HVI/network targeting methodologies, nodal analysis, and practical application of F3EAD.

• Demonstrated leadership in directing analytic teams and producing mission-quality intelligence products.

• Deep subject-matter expertise in SOF and/or CT intelligence tradecraft.

• Experience with CT, Regional Analysis, and Geo-Political Analysis.

• Active Top Secret with SCI eligibility required at time of application.

Desired Skills

• Recent USSOCOM or joint/interagency targeting experience.
