About the Role

As an Open-Source Media Analyst, you will be responsible for developing a shared understanding of the information environment. Your work will involve providing timely, accurate, and contextual analysis of traditional media, social media, and key audiences, ensuring these insights are effectively communicated to decision-makers. You will align media monitoring and analysis with internal and external command priorities and national messaging objectives, maintaining situational awareness to provide strategic counsel on priority topics at any time.

In this role, you will deliver clear, confident briefings—both orally and in writing—to senior leaders. You will identify, monitor, and analyze trends across social media, breaking news, media briefings, congressional hearings, and key speeches, distributing products that convey these insights. You will collaborate with command leaders and staff across subordinate and supporting organizations to identify communication risks and opportunities, while conducting research to provide leaders with historical context and a broad understanding of the information environment. You will also advise on the capabilities and effectiveness of various media monitoring tools and train personnel in media monitoring methodologies and analytic techniques. This position requires thriving within an agile, adaptive, and challenging team environment, including potential travel to austere locations.
