Geopolitical Risk Analyst Jobs in Kansas (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary:
TENEX.AI is an AI-native, automation-first Managed Detection and Response provider focused on enhancing cybersecurity for organizations. The Senior Threat Intelligence Analyst will be responsible for identifying and evaluating threats, turning global threat data into actionable intelligence for the Security Operations Center and leadership, and developing the threat intelligence program.
Responsibilities:
• Execute all phases of the intelligence lifecycle: planning, collection, analysis, production, and dissemination.
• Track specific threat actors and groups. You will map their Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) using the MITRE ATT&CK framework to identify gaps in our current defenses.
• Monitor geopolitical events, industry trends, and the dark web to provide "big picture" briefings on how the threat landscape is evolving.
• Extract and validate technical Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) from malware reports and OSINT to ensure our blocklists are high-fidelity and low-noise.
• Assist in the proactive research, identification, and collection of threat intelligence from various sources, including open-source intelligence (OSINT), commercial feeds, and internal security data.
• Produce high-quality written reports, ranging from "Flash Alerts" for urgent threats to monthly blogs or executive summaries for leadership.
• Monitor and analyze vulnerability disclosures and exploit trends to provide initial insights into potential risks.
• Act as a bridge between technical teams (Incident Response) and non-technical stakeholders, translating complex exploits into business risk.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 6+ years of experience in cybersecurity, with at least 4+ years specifically focused on threat intelligence or a closely related field (e.g., Security Operations Center (SOC) analysis).
• Familiarity with the Intelligence Cycle, Threat frameworks and methodologies (e.g. MITRE ATT&CK, Diamond Model, Cyber Kill chain, Pyramid of Pain, STIX/TAXII).
• Proficiency in OSINT and Commercial tools and techniques (e.g., Shodan, VirusTotal, INTEL471, WHOIS, Maltego).
• Exceptional writing skills; you must be able to explain why a threat matters to the business, not just what the threat is.
• Ability to apply structured analytic techniques to avoid cognitive biases in your assessments.
• Experience using Threat Intelligence Platforms (e.g., ThreatConnect, OPEN CTI).
• Experience with AI coding platforms (Cursor, Claude etc) and scripting languages.
• Knowledge of STIX/TAXII protocols for sharing threat intelligence.
• Ability to understand a sandbox report or basic static analysis to extract command-and-control (C2) infrastructure.
Preferred:
• Experience with AI coding platforms (Cursor, Claude etc) and scripting languages (e.g., Python) for data manipulation or automation are a plus.
• Relevant cybersecurity certifications (e.g., CompTIA Security+, GCTI, etc.).
• You don't just find a malicious IP; you want to find out who owns it and what they were trying to achieve.
• You are a continuous learner who follows security researchers on social media and stays up-to-date with the latest Zero-Day disclosures.
• You can stay calm and objective during high-pressure security incidents.
