Cybersecurity Intelligence Group - Lead Threat Intelligence Analyst - Vice President

As a Threat Intelligence Analyst at JPMorgan Chase within the Cybersecurity Technology and Controls, Cybersecurity Intelligence Group, you play an essential role in defending the firm against sophisticated cyber threats. You will investigate advanced threat actors, conduct proactive research on emerging threats, and generate forward-looking assessments to guide decision making at the highest levels. 

The Cybersecurity Intelligence Group (CIG) collects, analyzes and disseminates impactful threat intelligence to JPMC’s decision makers. CIG is central to JPMC’s intelligence-driven defense against sophisticated cyber intrusions and is an integral part of its global incident response capability.

An interest in security, technology and current affairs is a must, as is the ability to articulate complex information with clarity and brevity. A solid understanding of intelligence process and analysis, and a well-developed investigative mindset, ideally gained from within the intelligence community, would put you at a distinct advantage. Experience of applying that experience at a financial institution would be even better.
