The Role
Telum is seeking OSINT/PAI Targeting Analyst SMEs to lead advanced open-source collection, processing, exploitation, and dissemination (PED) using publicly and commercially available information. You'll fuse OSINT/PAI with multi-INT reporting to deliver decision-quality targeting products and intelligence assessments supporting special operations, HUMINT/exploitation, kinetic and non-kinetic targeting, cyber operations, and indications & warnings.
What You'll Do
- Plan and execute end-to-end OSINT/PAI collection, PED, targeting support, and reporting.
- Leverage public records, commercial datasets, social/media platforms, geospatial/open data, and deep/dark web sources to build multi-INT assessments.
- Integrate with IC/DoD/SOF partners to align requirements, deconflict collection, and disseminate products.
- Apply rigorous OSINT tradecraft, digital signature reduction, and data-hygiene practices; ensure compliance with authorities, policy, and law.
- Brief findings to O-5/GS-14+ audiences and mentor junior analysts on tools, methods, and workflows.
- 8+ years total experience as an intelligence analyst within DoD or the U.S. Intelligence Community.
- 3+ years hands-on OSINT/PAI exploitation directly supporting special operations, intelligence operations, kinetic/non-kinetic targeting, and/or HUMINT lead development.
- Note: Traditional/legacy OSINT tasks (basic review/translation/reporting of public feeds or social/news sources) do not count as equivalent experience.
- 2+ years experience with digital signature reduction.
- Advanced proficiency with current all-source tools, databases, repositories, and targeting methodologies.
- Advanced proficiency with OSINT/PAI tools, platforms, research methods, and the digital information environment (social media, internet, commercially available data, deep/dark web).
- Advanced understanding of OSINT/PAI authorities, regulations, and policy.
- Superior written communication; proficient with Microsoft Office.
- Superior verbal briefing skills; demonstrated ability to brief at the O-5/GS-14 level or higher.
- Active TS with SCI eligibility at time of application.
- Recent USSOCOM/SOF OSINT targeting experience.
- Link-analysis, entity resolution, enrichment, and bulk-data analytics.
- Scripting/automation for OSINT/PAI (e.g., APIs, Python).
- Experience integrating OSINT outputs into multi-INT targeting, HUMINT lead development, and cyber workflows.
