The Role

Barbaricum is seeking an OSINT/PAI Targeting Analyst (SME) to support special operations mission requirements through advanced collection, Processing/Exploitation/Dissemination (PED), reporting, and targeting using publicly available information (PAI) and commercially available data sources.

  • Fuse publicly available and commercially available data to produce multi-intelligence assessments and actionable targeting intelligence
  • Interface with Intelligence Community stakeholders to synchronize analytic efforts and support operational priorities

  • Apply analytic and targeting methodologies using current all-source tools, databases, and repositories
  • Use OSINT-specific tools, repositories, and research methodologies to interpret the digital information environment (social media, web, commercially available data, and deep/dark web sources)
  • Ensure compliance with OSINT/PAI authorities, regulations, and policy requirements
  • Deliver written intelligence products and brief senior leaders with clarity and confidence

 

Required Qualifications:

  • Active DoD Top Secret clearance and SCI eligibility
  • Minimum 8 years of total experience as an intelligence analyst within the DoD or Intelligence Community
  • Minimum 3 years of OSINT/PAI exploitation experience directly supporting special operations, intelligence operations, kinetic/non-kinetic targeting, and/or HUMINT lead development

  • Minimum 2 years of experience with digital signature reduction
  • Advanced proficiency with all-source intelligence tools, databases, and repositories, and analytic/targeting methodology
  • Advanced proficiency with OSINT/PAI tools, research methods, and strong understanding of the digital information environment (including commercially available data and deep/dark web sources)
