Careers

A small firm doing work worth doing

Intel Analysis hires cleared all-source analysts for supply chain risk, corporate due diligence, counterintelligence, and insider threat work. Analyst-owned since 2006, in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.

Introduce yourself What it is like here

No open requisitions today — how hiring works here

How hiring works here

Hiring here is continuous, not seasonal

There is no advertised requisition open at this moment. That is the normal state for a firm this size, and it is not a signal that hiring has stopped.

Billets open on contracts the company already holds — a rotation ends, a task order grows, a customer adds scope — and when one does it needs filling quickly, because an unfilled seat on a live contract is work the firm has committed to and cannot staff. Openings therefore appear at short notice rather than on a schedule.

Which is why the useful thing to do today is introduce yourself, not check back later. Cleared analysts move on a cycle of years. A conversation now is worth more than a job alert.

  1. You tell us what you do

    A few sentences and a résumé. No account, no portal, no application form for a job that does not exist yet.

  2. A person reads it

    There is no automated pipeline behind this. In a firm this size it reaches someone who knows what the work involves.

  3. You hear when something opens

    That is what the Talent Network is for: so that when a billet opens there is already a list of people to call rather than a job board to post to.

Self-selection

Roles we hire for

The kinds of role this firm has actually hired for — not a forecast, and not a list of openings. If your background fits one of these, the Talent Network is built for you: introduce yourself and you are on the list that gets called when a billet opens.

  • SCRM research and vulnerability analyst
  • Intelligence analyst / researcher
  • Mid-level DoD economic analyst
  • All-source analyst
  • Counterintelligence analyst

Background in something adjacent? Introduce yourself anyway and say so — self-selection is a guide, not a filter.

Why here

What a firm this size can offer

These are the things a large prime structurally cannot say, which is the only reason to list them. Everything a prime can also offer is not a reason to choose this.

  • The people who review your work have done it

    The company was founded in 2006 by career intelligence analysts and is still led by them. Leadership are intelligence subject matter experts, not a holding company and not a sales organization.

  • You will know the president’s name, and he will know yours

    Flat structure and limited overhead. There is no layer of account managers between an analyst and the person who runs the firm.

  • Latitude on site

    In the company’s own words: limber and flexible at the corporate level, which is what allows employees to be that way on site.

  • Work that is analytically interesting

    Supply chain risk, corporate due diligence, counterintelligence and insider threat across DoD, DHS, national-level agencies, combatant commands, and law enforcement. Mission variety is easier to find in a small firm than in a single billet at a large prime.

  • Colleagues who have served

    The majority of employees have military backgrounds, most with operational deployment experience.

  • Work that gets recognized

    Employees have received individual and team Director of National Intelligence awards.

The company’s own standing invitation, and worth taking up: ask a current or former member of the IAI team what they think of the company. A firm that says that is a firm that expects the answer to hold up.

A longer and more honest account, including what a small firm is not, is on life at IAI.

The process

Clearances, honestly

General guidance, not a promise about any particular role. Where a specific answer matters to your decision, ask — you will get a straight one.

Do I need an active clearance?
For most of this work, yes. Each posting states its own requirement, and where a posting does not state one that is worth asking about directly rather than assuming.
What if my clearance has lapsed?
A clearance that has lapsed within the reinvestigation window is often reinstatable, and it is worth a conversation rather than self-selecting out. Bring the dates and the level; leave the particulars for a phone call.
How long does the process take?
Crossovers can move quickly. Anything requiring new investigation does not, and any firm that tells you otherwise is guessing. Expect the timeline to be driven by the government, not by the employer.
What should I not put in an email?
Current assignments, customer or program names, facility details, and clearance particulars. A résumé should describe disciplines, skills, and general mission areas. Everything else belongs in a conversation.

Talent Network

Introduce yourself

This is a small firm, and the odds that the right role happens to be live on the day you look are not good. Billets open at short notice on contracts already held, and this list exists so that when one does there are already people to call. There is no automated pipeline behind it — it goes to a person, and a person reads it.

Disciplines, mission areas, and the kind of work you want next. Please do not include classified or sensitive detail, your current assignment, or your clearance particulars — a couple of sentences is enough to start a conversation.
