Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst in New York at Jobgether

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst based in United States.

This remote opportunity is designed for professionals and aspiring analysts looking to build practical experience in cyber threat intelligence through realistic, simulation-based environments. You will work with incomplete threat information, indicators, contextual data, and organizational requirements to determine what matters and why. The role emphasizes analytical judgment, source evaluation, threat prioritization, and decision-focused intelligence. You will translate technical findings into clear assessments and recommendations for different stakeholders. The work spans threat actors, TTPs, indicators, intelligence gaps, and evolving assessments. All activities are conducted in controlled environments for legitimate defensive, educational, and professional-development purposes.

• Triage and evaluate threat information: Review multiple sources of simulated threat intelligence, determine relevance, assess reliability and credibility, and identify information requiring further investigation.
• Analyze threats and adversary behavior: Assess simulated threat actors, including their motivations, capabilities, targeting patterns, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), and determine their potential relevance to an organization.
• Assess indicators in context: Evaluate indicators of compromise alongside supporting evidence rather than treating individual indicators as definitive proof of malicious activity.
• Identify intelligence gaps: Determine what critical information is missing and define the additional intelligence required to improve security decision-making.
• Develop intelligence requirements: Create or refine priority intelligence questions based on organizational assets, threat exposure, business priorities, and stakeholder needs.
• Prioritize threats: Compare competing threats according to relevance, likelihood, potential impact, available evidence, and organizational priorities.
• Apply structured analytical reasoning: Evaluate competing hypotheses, weigh evidence, document assumptions, and communicate why one assessment may be better supported than another.
• Produce actionable intelligence: Synthesize multiple information sources into assessments explaining what is happening, why it matters, and what defensive priorities should be considered.
• Communicate analytical confidence: Clearly articulate confidence levels, evidence quality, assumptions, and factors that limit certainty.
• Brief decision-makers: Translate technical threat intelligence into concise, business-relevant insights and recommendations for senior or non-technical stakeholders.
• Update assessments: Reassess previous conclusions when new intelligence becomes available and clearly explain how additional evidence changes—or does not change—the original assessment.
• Create professional intelligence outputs: Develop threat assessments, threat actor profiles, executive intelligence briefs, intelligence requirements documents, TTP assessments, indicator assessments, confidence statements, threat prioritization reports, and intelligence updates.

• Cybersecurity and threat intelligence interest: Suitable for aspiring CTI analysts, cybersecurity students or graduates, SOC professionals seeking CTI exposure, career changers, intelligence or security professionals transitioning into cyber, self-taught practitioners, and professionals with relevant cybersecurity certifications.
• Analytical reasoning: Ability to examine incomplete or conflicting information, identify patterns, weigh evidence, develop hypotheses, and reach reasoned conclusions.
• Threat intelligence fundamentals: Understanding of threat intelligence concepts, threat actors, indicators of compromise, TTPs, threat assessments, intelligence requirements, and risk prioritization.
• Source evaluation: Ability to assess the reliability, credibility, relevance, and limitations of information sources and explain how these factors affect analytical confidence.
• Critical thinking: Strong attention to context and the ability to distinguish meaningful evidence from isolated or inconclusive information.
• Decision support: Ability to turn technical or complex security information into practical, decision-useful intelligence and proportionate defensive recommendations.
• Communication skills: Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to present technical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Professional documentation: Ability to produce structured intelligence products such as assessments, executive briefs, intelligence requirements, threat profiles, and analytical updates.
• Adaptability: Comfortable revisiting assumptions and updating conclusions when new information becomes available.
• Ethical judgment: Commitment to using cybersecurity knowledge exclusively for legitimate defensive, educational, and professional-development purposes.
• Remote working: Ability to work independently, manage analytical tasks effectively, and communicate findings in a remote environment.

• Fully remote work environment.
• Simulation-based experience designed to develop practical cyber threat intelligence capabilities.
• Exposure to realistic CTI scenarios involving incomplete information and evolving intelligence.
• Opportunity to build tangible professional artefacts demonstrating analytical and intelligence skills.
• Development of decision-making, structured reasoning, source evaluation, and threat assessment capabilities.
• Experience producing industry-relevant intelligence deliverables such as executive briefs and threat assessments.
• Suitable for students, graduates, career changers, SOC professionals, self-taught practitioners, and experienced security professionals expanding into CTI.
• Work focused exclusively on legitimate defensive, educational, and professional-development scenarios.
• Opportunity to strengthen a portfolio with evidence of applied cyber threat intelligence work.
