• Review and edit reports and threat assessments produced by fellow analysts, ensuring analytical rigor, accurate sourcing, clarity, consistency, and adherence to established guidelines.
• Provide structured and constructive feedback to analysts to strengthen both their analytical thinking and written communication.
• Ensure the consistent application of analytical and data frameworks across team outputs, identifying and addressing deviations from agreed standards and methodologies.

Profile requirements

• Demonstrated interest in FIMI and disinformation , supported by academic studies, professional experience, or personal engagement in the field.
• Excellent English writing and editing skills, with the ability both to create polished analytical products and critically assess the work of others.
• Strong analytical mindset, capable of extracting, synthesizing, and prioritizing information from complex, incomplete, or ambiguous data sources.
• Practical experience applying data frameworks within an analytical environment.
• Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, adapt to changing requirements, and meet tight deadlines when required.

Desired Assets

While not required, the following qualifications would be considered an advantage:

• Proven experience in producing published or publicly available written work, or previous experience in a comparable analytical role.
• Prior experience serving as an editor, reviewer, or quality assurance resource for analytical content.
• Familiarity with the STIX (Structured Threat Information Expression) language.
