Lead Intelligence Analyst

About the Role

Redhorse is seeking a Lead Intelligence Analyst to serve as the operational architect and "North Star" within a cross-functional team building technology-enabled, mission-critical intelligence workflows. Most intelligence transformation technologies fail because they are disconnected from how analysts think and act under pressure-this role exists to prevent that.

Working in close partnership with graph data scientists and data engineers, you will ensure that our state-of-the-art analytic platform (GraphAware Hume) reflects real-world operational tradecraft. This is not a role focused on producing intelligence products; it is a role focused on building the systems that produce decision advantage. You will translate complex intelligence questions into structured requirements and ensure every line of code results in a user experience that delights analysts and survives contact with reality.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build investigative analytic workflows directly within GraphAware Hume in partnership with technical teams.
• Translate real-world intelligence questions into structured graph queries, visualizations, and repeatable analytical playbooks.
• Act as the primary voice of the intelligence user, distinguishing between perceived needs and actual operational requirements.
• Validate system outputs against real-world operational scenarios to identify gaps in data representation or entity resolution.
• Drive platform adoption through hands-on engagement, mentoring, and high-impact training for new and advanced users.
• Ensure technical development remains anchored to mission outcomes, ensuring outputs are explainable and defensible.
• Continuously refine system behavior based on analyst feedback and the evolving mission landscape.

Required Experience/Clearance

• Active Top Secret / SCI eligibility is required.
• 10+ years of experience in all-source intelligence analysis within the DoD, IC, or federal law enforcement environments.
• Demonstrated experience supporting operational or mission-critical decision-making under time pressure.
• Proven ability to translate complex mission problems into structured technical requirements for engineering teams.
• Deep understanding of intelligence tradecraft, analytical reasoning, and multi-source data fusion.
• Experience working within Agile development cycles to deliver incremental mission value.
• Willingness to travel up to 25% to support mission requirements and stakeholder engagements.
• Strong preference for candidates located in or willing to travel to Hawaii, Miami, or Colorado.

Desired Experience

• Direct experience using or configuring the GraphAware Hume platform.
• Experience working in or alongside graph-based data environments (Neo4j, etc.).
• Familiarity with data science concepts, including entity resolution and relationship extraction.
• Experience developing and delivering training curricula for intelligence software or platforms.
• Background in Design Thinking or Lean Startup methodologies.
