Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst

Contract on 1099

# of Open Positions: 1

Length of Contract: 12 Months

Position Overview:
The Senior Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) Analyst will serve as a strategic force multiplier in protecting CLIENT's infrastructure by identifying, analyzing, and contextualizing cyber threats before they materialize into operational impact. This role requires a forward-leaning, highly analytical professional who can synthesize technical indicators, adversary behaviors, and geopolitical developments into actionable intelligence that informs security operations and leadership decision-making across CLIENT's stakeholders and enterprise environments.

The ideal candidate brings prior experience working within a Cyber Security Operations Center (CSOC), providing a strong foundation in security monitoring, incident escalation, and operational workflows. However, this position is intentionally designed as a progression beyond traditional SOC analyst responsibilities. Success in this role depends on the ability to move from reactive alert handling to proactive threat analysis, intelligence production, and strategic insight bridging the gap between real-time security operations and long-term threat awareness. The Senior CTI Analyst will partner closely with SOC, incident response, and engineering teams to ensure intelligence is relevant, timely, and operationally meaningful.
