  • Established corporate and government security contacts across local and federal law enforcement and the intelligence community, with the ability to use those relationships to support threat intelligence and incident response. 
  • Executive presence, business acumen and project-management capability, with a demonstrated ability to operate strategically and autonomously while influencing senior leaders and collaborating across diverse teams. 
  • Previously held and eligible for a U.S. Government security clearance; able to respond quickly, make sound decisions under pressure and perform duties that may require extended sitting, standing or walking. 
  • Advanced knowledge of open-source intelligence (OSINT) tools and methods for identifying, monitoring and assessing physical and digital threats. 
  • Proficiency with threat-intelligence, case-management, database-management and information-management systems used to document investigations and produce actionable intelligence. 
  • Experience using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to develop threat and intelligence products, support physical-security applications and improve database and office administration.
