About the Role:

CrowdStrike’s Intelligence Analysis Cell (IAC), a team within CrowdStrike Counter Adversary Operations (CAO), is seeking to hire a Senior Intelligence Analyst with high expertise in North Korea and the broader Asia-Pacific region.

The role specializes in conducting both investigative and contextual analysis related to cybersecurity threats posed by state-affiliated actors and hacktivists.

To support our mission, you will conduct Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) investigations that uncover the organizations, individuals, and policies that enable threat actors, providing insights into the behavior and motivations. You will also connect cyber activities to real-world events by examining how political, economic, and geopolitical factors influence or are influenced by adversarial operations.

What You'll Do:

• Conduct OSINT investigations into enabling entities that back DPRK state-sponsored adversaries
• Identify and track national and transnational developments that impact or are impacted by DPRK state-sponsored adversaries
• Compose short- and long-form finished intelligence reports
• Respond to customer requests for information (RFIs)
• Collaborate with other analysts, technical experts, and customer-facing personnel
• Strategize research prioritization efforts and intelligence gap identification
