Overview

DarkStar Intelligence is seeking an accomplished all-source analyst with deep experience in counterdrug and transnational organized crime missions.

This position is on-site in a SCIF; U.S. citizenship is required.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct all-source analysis on CD/TOC networks to identify nodes, facilitators, and enablers across air/land/maritime and digital domains.
  • Integrate HUMINT, SIGINT, GEOINT, OSINT, and LE reporting to map networks, assess vulnerabilities, and forecast activity.
  • 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.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 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.

Desired Qualifications

  • 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.
