- Provide concise written and verbal feedback to support the continuous improvement of AI threat assessment capabilities.
Preferred Qualifications
- Substantial experience in cyber threat intelligence, particularly where nation-state operations intersect with advanced cyber threats.

- Background in threat-actor attribution, APT tracking, or exposure to adversary tactics and techniques.
- Demonstrated proficiency in authoring clear, structured written content in English and communicating complex concepts verbally.
- Experience mentoring, teaching, or leading professionals in threat intelligence disciplines.
