About the Position

We are seeking a motivated, detail-oriented OSINT Analyst (Open-Source Intelligence) to produce accurate, high-quality open-source intelligence that supports informed decision-making. The role involves in-depth research on individuals, organizations, and businesses, focusing on identification, ownership mapping, litigation and regulatory review, and reputational-risk evaluation. The ideal candidate combines investigative rigor with sound judgment, ethical awareness, and a strong understanding of public-records systems across multiple jurisdictions.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct comprehensive OSINT research across publicly available sources to collect and validate information on individuals, companies, and commercial activity.
  • Validate findings through multi-source triangulation.
  • Leverage corporate registries, litigation, and market-regulation databases (U.S. and other jurisdictions).
  • Analyze and synthesize data into concise, well-structured analytical reports.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders on research objectives and timely delivery.
  • Document methodologies, sources, and verification steps for transparency and auditability.
  • Ensure all activities meet ethical, legal, and regulatory standards.

Requirements

  • Minimum 2 years in analytical roles (due diligence, threat assessment, corporate intelligence, or investigative research), preferably in a professional OSINT or risk-advisory environment.
  • Hands-on expertise with OSINT tools, databases, and search methodologies.
  • Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills.
  • Proven ability to extract and interpret information from fragmented, multilingual, or cross-jurisdictional sources, including litigation and corporate-registry databases.
  • Professional English with strong research, writing, and data-interpretation skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, including client-ready structured reports.

Nice to Have

  • Understanding of U.S. and international jurisdictions (public records, property registries, data-broker ecosystems).
  • Experience with jurisdiction-specific systems for litigation, business registration, and asset-ownership tracing.
  • Familiarity with digital-forensic and enrichment tools for entity resolution and network mapping; practical OPSEC knowledge.
  • Bachelor's degree in international relations, political science, data analytics, journalism, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

We Offer

  • Competitive salary: $2,000–$5,000 per month, depending on experience and skills.
  • Form of engagement: Employee or independent contractor (B2B / FOP) possible; FOP preferred.
  • Work format: Hybrid schedule.
  • Probation period: 3 months.
  • Benefits: Medical insurance; 24 days of vacation per year.
