Job Description:
Overview:
Contract Intelligence Analysts play a vital role in enhancing customer understanding of threats and supporting informed decision-making. By employing intelligence analysis, they help identify and recommend specific operational actions to advance threat mitigation efforts.
Key Responsibilities:
Contract analysts will be assigned a variety of core analytical tasks and projects, culminating in the creation of written deliverables. Their primary responsibilities include:
- Research & Analysis: Conduct operational and strategic-level research and analysis. Analysts will review source reporting and raw intelligence to assess its value, relevance, and significance. They will communicate analytic assessments through intelligence products and oral briefings.
- Threat Analysis: Apply analytic tradecraft to conduct in-depth examinations of threat variables. This analysis enhances operational actions, mitigation strategies, and intelligence processes, offering a comprehensive understanding of how threats impact specific areas of responsibility (AORs).
- Domain Analysis (DA): Assess how environmental variables (EVs) influence known or emerging threats in a given domain. DA identifies shifts in the domain, highlights potential future scenarios, and identifies indicators that may affect threat issues or the FBI’s capacity to mitigate them.
Document Production:
In addition to intelligence products, contract analysts may be called upon to produce official documentation, including but not limited to:
- Electronic Communications (ECs): Used to document fact-based research findings, information receipts, or other key details unsuitable for formal intelligence products.
- Letterhead Memoranda (LHMs) & Cables: Facilitate the sharing of information with external partners, including other government agencies, as well as state and local law enforcement.
- Foreign Dissemination Requests (FDRs): Enable the dissemination of information to foreign partners. Information shared through LHMs, cables, or FDRs must be derived from official records, such as intelligence products or ECs.
Guidance & Collaboration:
Contract analysts may receive direction from Intelligence Analysts (IAs), Supervisory Intelligence Analysts (SIAs), or Unit Chiefs (UCs) regarding the development of ECs, LHMs, cables, and FDRs. This collaborative process ensures that information shared externally is accurate, relevant, and appropriately derived from official records.
