Senior OSINT Program Lead

Mclean, VA

Position overview

Info Gain Consulting (IGC) is seeking a Senior OSINT Program Lead to direct the open-source intelligence (OSINT) capability-support mission thread for a federal law-enforcement and intelligence customer.

Support lawful, appropriate, and auditable use of publicly available information, including traceability, data-handling, retention, and review controls.

At least 3 years leading an intelligence, OSINT, analytic-workflow, or capability-management workstream.
Demonstrated ability to translate intelligence or operational needs into capability plans, roadmaps, requirements, metrics, or training content.
Working knowledge of publicly available information, source evaluation, analytic workflow controls, auditability, privacy, civil liberties, and First Amendment safeguards.
Ability to support law-enforcement or intelligence customers without crossing into unauthorized collection or inherently governmental decision-making.
Strong analytical writing, briefing, facilitation, and stakeholder-coordination skills.
Proficiency with Microsoft 365 and tools used to develop roadmaps, requirements, reports, and briefings.

Preferred qualifications

Experience supporting DHS, CBP, another federal law-enforcement or intelligence organization, or a comparable fusion, targeting, vetting, or analytic environment.
