Summary The Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center (CTIIC) is the DNI's Intelligence Community (IC) lead for cyber intelligence issues. CTIIC is responsible for integrating IC collection and analysis on cyber intelligence issues, and for coordinating and supporting the IC in providing accurate, timely, comprehensive support to national policy and decision makers. Responsibilities The Analytic Integration Directorate (AI) at ODNI's Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center (CTIIC) is seeking an analytic manager with exceptional tradecraft, critical thinking, and interpersonal skills to join our team in leading and integrating IC analysis of foreign cyber threats from both government and non-state actors. CTIIC is committed to developing a diverse and inclusive workforce, values training and other development opportunities, and seeks personnel who can contribute analytic talent and other related expertise to our mission. CTIIC provides an experienced and integrated voice for the IC on national security cyber priorities and represents the IC in situations that warrant a National Security Council-directed unified coordination group. CTIIC also supports the National Security Council and other cyber decisionmakers, offering opportunities to gain insight into the development of cyber policy, and works across the IC and other USG agencies, providing exposure to a broad range of USG activities and perspectives. Cyber is increasingly infused in all national security topics, which makes working at CTIIC an excellent opportunity for intelligence officers with a background in regional or functional national security issues to gain expertise with the cyber threat mission and customer set by helping to integrate and improve information sharing in the US cyber community. Through production and briefings, AI builds a common understanding of foreign cyber threats to US national interests that informs decision-making by federal cyber centers, departments and agencies, and policymakers. AI integrates information from the network defense, intelligence, and law enforcement communities; facilitates information sharing among departments and agencies; and produces current intelligence in a dynamic and collaborative environment that fosters growth and development. AI's goal is to tell the most important stories to a wide range of customers, and in doing so, make the cyber story approachable in a way that allows our customers to understand the significance of the information and identify opportunities to take action in the interests of US national security.
