The National Counterterrorism Center's Directorate of Intelligence (NCTC/DI) seeks a motivated intelligence analyst who desires a challenging and rewarding assignment with a high-performing group of officers working to combat terrorism worldwide and protect the Homeland.

This group is charged with providing regional and functional analysis on threats to the Americas, Europe and Eurasia, including terrorist travel; on threats from transnational violent extremists and those inspired by foreign terrorist organizations; and on indicators and risks of radicalization and mobilization worldwide to help key decisionmakers and partners counter terrorism and protect US national security.

NCTC seeks an analyst willing to shoulder a dynamic, fulfilling set of important responsibilities in close partnership with other talented analysts. The DI has an expansive mission that requires a rigorous approach to analysis and collaboration across the Intelligence Community.

Lead, plan, direct, and coordinate the preparation of tactical, multidisciplinary, and strategic analysis that supports key US national security and foreign policy objectives and helps shape IC analysis and priorities.

Apply a variety of methodological tools and approaches to gain a comprehensive understanding of complex and significant analytic issues and incorporate insights and findings into well-crafted, sophisticated intelligence products.

Develop and implement strategies for gathering intelligence, or historical information in support of US interests and policy objectives; cultivate and identify key internal and external sources of relevant information.

Cultivate and maintain productive working relationships with colleagues, experts, IC members, policy customers, and law enforcement agencies as appropriate and use these relationships to share information of interest; attend internal and external training, seminars, or conferences on broad or more strategic subject areas.
