Intelligence Operations Intern

What You'll Do

As an Intelligence Operations Intern, you will play a crucial role in supporting our intelligence efforts:

• Monitor social media platforms, domains, and other open sources for relevant developments.
• Collect, organize, and summarize information to support intelligence reporting.
• Track emerging trends and help the team surface actionable insights.
• Triage alerts from monitoring systems, filter false positives, and escalate issues per internal procedures.
• Contribute to intelligence summaries and operational reports for internal and client use.

What We're Looking For

We are seeking motivated individuals with a strong foundation in analytical and research skills:

• Curious, self-motivated individuals with strong research or OSINT skills.
• Background in Social Sciences, Media Studies, International Relations, Security Studies, Cybersecurity, or similar analytical fields.
• Strong analytical and critical thinking abilities, with a knack for synthesizing information from multiple sources.
• Excellent written and verbal communication in English, with full fluency in Spanish and / or Italian.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently in a remote setting.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with OSINT tools and techniques.
• Experience with research, investigative projects, or analytical work (academic or otherwise).
• Participation in CTFs, academic research, or personal projects related to intelligence or security.

Why This Role

This is a hands-on opportunity to gain practical experience in the intelligence field:

• No prior knowledge of cyber threats is required; we'll provide hands-on training.
• You'll work directly alongside the intelligence team, taking on real operational tasks from day one while they focus on high-value analysis.
• It's a practical entry point into intelligence operations, not a coffee-and-filing internship.
• We will also get together often in Madrid in the coming months, so you will have time to meet the team and work alongside more experienced colleagues.
