• Monitor and assess emerging cyber threat actors, threat groups, and campaigns with demonstrated relevance to Life Sciences clients and stakeholders

• Develop and maintain short- and long-term research projects that track threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and broader conditions affecting Life Sciences cybersecurity posture

• 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 resource, including participation in proposals and client conversations

• Continue to grow and develop technical cyber intelligence and Life Sciences 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.

Here's What You Need:

• Minimum of 2 years’ experience and demonstrated aptitude or experience in cyber threat intelligence production, including:

  • Familiarity with tracking and analyzing threat actors — including cybercriminal groups and state-sponsored actors — targeting Life Sciences organizations

  • Understanding of intelligence tradecraft fundamentals, including source evaluation, analytic confidence assessment, and structured analytic techniques (e.g., ACH, key assumptions checks)

  • Experience or demonstrated ability to author finished intelligence products — threat reports, situational assessments, and written briefings — for diverse audiences

• Minimum of 2 years’ experience with regulatory and compliance frameworks relevant to Life Sciences (e.g., HIPAA, FDA cybersecurity guidance, NIST CSF)

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

Bonus Points If:

• You hold relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISA, CEH, GCTI, GREM, or similar
