About Alethea:

Founded in 2019, with the mission to protect the truth, Alethea is a tech company that detects and mitigates instances of disinformation and social media manipulation to help clients navigate the new digital reality.

  • Assist in the preparation of client-facing materials, and public-facing reports.
  • Support briefings led by Senior Analysts.
  • Support customer success and sales teams in developing materials for prospecting or client-facing briefings.

  • EQ: High emotional intelligence, with the capability to anticipate needs and proactively develop solutions.
  • Integrity: Demonstrated integrity and discretion in handling sensitive/confidential information.
  • Curiosity and Drive: Independent thinker with a relentless curiosity and drive to achieve and excel.

Preferred Qualifications (Not required):

  • Prior work experience analyzing social media data.
  • Familiarity with the disinformation space (e.g. through academic research, training, or prior work experience)
  • A well-developed understanding—either through research, study, or experience—of one of the following areas: social media research, government and politics, disinformation, information operations, violent extremism, quantitative analysis, computer science, or cybersecurity.
