Intelligence Analyst

NCU-ISAO is a nonprofit information sharing organization supporting U.S. credit unions through cybersecurity and fraud intelligence. We're hiring someone to grow into ownership of our member-facing intelligence content and engagement, starting with high-volume recurring work and building toward independent analytical judgment over time.

• What You'll Do
• Early Days

• ● Own recurring, templated content for our monthly member meetings, including month-over-month comparisons, chart updates, and known content categories.
• ● Learn our source material, our members' risk landscape, and how we translate technical threat and fraud information into what actually matters to a credit union.

• As You Grow
• ● Take on increasing ownership of novel and analytical content alongside our Director of Intelligence.
• ● Co-present sections of live virtual member meetings.
• ● Draft our Monthly and Annual Threats Report, Fall Survey Analysis, and more.
• ● Help with member-facing advisories and communications more broadly.
• ● Collaborate on intelligence sourcing and initiatives with key partners.

• What This Role Is Not
• ● Not a pure administrative or assembly role. We need real judgment about what matters and why, not just execution.
• ● Not a technical/IT infrastructure role.
• ● Not a fixed, same-every-day job. Priorities shift, and you'll be asked to help outside a narrow lane when needed.

• Who Succeeds Here
• We're not looking for ten-plus years of analyst experience. We're looking for a foundational understanding of cybersecurity, fraud, or financial-services risk (through coursework, certifications, adjacent work, or genuine self-directed learning) combined with real intellectual curiosity and the flexibility to work in a small, growing, sometimes-ambiguous environment. If you want a role that's identical every day, this isn't it. If you want to build real expertise and grow with an organization, it might be exactly right.

Requirements

• ● Foundational familiarity with cybersecurity, fraud, or financial-services risk concepts.
• ● Strong writing and content-development skills.
• ● Comfort with ambiguity and shifting priorities.
• ● Genuine interest in growing analytical and presentation skills over time.
• ● Fully remote work with occasional travel (roughly once a year for our conference).

Preferred

• ● Exposure to credit unions, banking, or regulated financial services.
• ● Experience with presentation/slide tools.
• ● Security-adjacent certifications (e.g., Security+) or equivalent self-study.

• Compensation & Benefits
• Base Salary: $80,000 to $90,000. Most candidates will start in the $80,000 to $85,000 range. The top of the range reflects candidates who arrive with existing certifications (e.g., Security+) or equivalent hands-on cybersecurity or fraud experience.
• ● Fully remote
• ● Health coverage (high-deductible plan), plus vision coverage
• ● 401(k) with company match
• ● Annual cost-of-living adjustment and annual bonus eligibility
• ● Dental coverage planned as the organization scales

• Why This Role
• NCU-ISAO has consistently grown year-over-year. We build people into bigger roles as we grow rather than defaulting to hiring externally every time.
• This role starts with clear, learnable wins and real room to grow into more analytical and public-facing responsibility as you build expertise and trust.
