Lead Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst
Location: Onsite – Government-controlled secure facility
Terms: Full-time
Salary: $130-$180k DOE
Clearance: Active Top Secret/SCI required
Travel: 0-10%Project Description
This position leads the Cyber Threat Intelligence function for a federal enterprise cybersecurity program operating within government-controlled secure facilities. The CTI function is the program's strategic intelligence capability—identifying real and potential threats to computing infrastructure, reviewing and responding to Prioritized Intelligence Requirements (PIRs), and disseminating classified threat briefings and reports that drive both operational response and long‐range risk management decisions. The core challenge: producing actionable, finished all‐source intelligence at the classified level that keeps pace with an evolving threat landscape—and leading a CTI team that delivers that intelligence with analytical rigor, tradecraft discipline, and the speed the mission demands.
Position Description: As Lead Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst at Revolutional, you are the senior intelligence practitioner and functional lead for the CTI team. You identify potential and real threats to enterprise computing infrastructure, develop risk mitigation strategies, and produce and disseminate classified cyber threat briefings and reports to government leadership and operational teams. You set the analytical standard for the team, own the PIR review process, and ensure every finished product reflects sound tradecraft and current threat awareness. You bring 7 to 10 years of intelligence experience—with deep grounding in both Threat/Warning Analysis (NICE: AN‐TWA‐001) and All‐Source Analysis (NICE: AN‐ASA‐001)—and the leadership credibility to run a classified CTI function within a government secure facility. You operate with analytical rigor, produce intelligence that drives decisions, and build a team that does the same.
Responsibilities:
  • Lead the Cyber Threat Intelligence function; set analytical standards, manage team workload, and serve as the senior intelligence authority for all CTI products and assessments
  • Identify potential and real threats to enterprise computing infrastructure across classified and unclassified source streams; assess threat actor intent, capability, and opportunity
  • Develop and communicate risk mitigation strategies based on current threat intelligence; translate analytical findings into actionable defensive recommendations for security operations and program leadership
  • Review, manage, and respond to Prioritized Intelligence Requirements (PIRs); ensure the CTI team's collection and production efforts are aligned with the most critical information needs
  • Produce and disseminate classified cyber threat briefings and reports; deliver finished intelligence to government leadership and operational teams at both strategic and tactical levels
  • Integrate all‐source intelligence—classified, open‐source, and technical—into comprehensive threat assessments that reflect the full intelligence picture
  • Apply Threat/Warning Analysis tradecraft to deliver early indications and warnings of emerging cyber threats, adversary campaigns, and shifts in threat actor behavior
  • Coordinate with SOC, incident response, and threat hunting teams to ensure CTI products are operationally relevant and drive detection and response improvements
  • Maintain classified access and handle all intelligence products in accordance with applicable security protocols within government-controlled secure facilities
  • Ensure CTI team compliance with NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework role‐based training requirements
  • Develop and maintain intelligence production standards, product templates, and analytical procedures that ensure consistency and quality across the CTI function
