Senior Strategic and Operational Intelligence Analyst

Become a part of our caring community
The Senior Strategic and Operational Intelligence Analyst delivers proactive, forward-looking analysis of the cyber threat landscape and translates that analysis into direction and action for Humana's information security organization. You will set the strategic threat picture that guides CTI collection, processing, and analysis while supporting the development of proactive countermeasures that reduce Humana's exposure before threats materialize. Working with operational analysts, the analyst ensures strategic analysis translates into operational outcomes by shaping what CTI tracks, what partners act on, and where Humana strengthens its preparedness. The analyst applies AI, automation, and disciplined analysis to identify what matters most, anticipate changes in the threat landscape, and lead action on priority cyber threats. The analyst is comfortable working directly with threat and security data, exploring patterns, testing hypotheses, and combining quantitative evidence with qualitative intelligence to produce defensible assessments and practical recommendations.
