Supply Chain Risk Management Intelligence Analyst
WFA Digital Insight
Leidos’ opening for a Supply Chain Risk Management Intelligence Analyst is a niche blend of intelligence work and supply‑chain vigilance that few private‑sector firms can match. Embedded in a four‑person threat‑intelligence team, the analyst will dive deep into open‑source data, corporate registries and specialized platforms to spot foreign ownership, technology‑transfer risks, and covert hardware manipulations that could affect the FAA’s aviation ecosystem. The role demands a clear line of sight from raw data to actionable alerts for senior FAA leaders, meaning analysts must translate complex geopolitical signals into concise threat profiles. Candidates should be comfortable navigating inter‑agency relationships—from the FBI to CISA—while also training acquisition staff on emerging supply‑chain hazards. It’s a position where technical rigor meets national‑security impact, and only seasoned analysts with a strong OSINT pedigree will thrive.
Job Description
Leidos is seeking a Supply Chain Threat Intelligence Analyst to provide technical and analytical support to the FAA’s Counterintelligence (CI) Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) program. The program is responsible for identifying, assessing, and mitigating foreign intelligence, nation-state, and cybersecurity threats to the FAA’s supply chain, critical infrastructure, and enterprise networks. Embedded within a 4-person Threat Intelligence Team, this position focuses on threat landscapes, adversary intent, and geopolitical trends. Providing independent all-source intelligence analysis, the analyst leverages Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) and corporate registries to evaluate Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI), technology transfer risks, and strategic threat trends targeting the aviation industrial base. This role evaluates physical, technical, and personnel vulnerabilities, including vendor vetting, sophisticated hardware/firmware threats and insider risks, to produce actionable intelligence products that inform agency leadership and support the broader FAA SCRM framework.
