• Produce written intelligence reports, threat assessments, and executive-level briefings tailored to both technical and non-technical audiences

• Collaborate with peer analysts and industry specialists across the IIA team to ensure cross-vertical intelligence, integration and consistency

• Present findings through formal briefings, external engagements, and client-facing deliverables

• Support Accenture sales and business development efforts as a subject matter expert, including participation in proposals and client conversations

• Continue to grow and develop technical cyber intelligence and Public Sector domain expertise

Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 0% to 25% depending on business need and client requirements.

  • Experience authoring finished intelligence products — threat reports, situational assessments, and executive briefings — for diverse audiences

• Minimum of 4 years of experience with government cybersecurity frameworks, policies, and initiatives (e.g., CISA directives, NIST CSF, CMMC, FedRAMP, EO 14028)

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. (If Associate's Degree, must have minimum 6 years work experience)
