Location: Remote
Commitment: Flexible, Part-Time (~5 hrs/week baseline)
Overview
We’re looking for individuals interested in open-source intelligence (OSINT), investigations, and real-world analysis work.
This is not a traditional internship with rigid responsibilities or structured coursework. Instead, it’s an opportunity-driven role where you gain exposure by contributing to internal work and, if you choose, participating in optional real-world casework.
What You’ll Do
General Internship Contributions (Baseline – ~5 hrs/week)
These are the core expectations of the internship:
- Assist with improving report templates, workflows, and SOPs
- Support internal documentation and knowledge base updates
- Help with miscellaneous operational tasks (e.g., formatting, research, content support)
- Contribute to general team needs as they arise
Optional OSINT Casework (Paid, Separate Agreement)
Interns may be offered the opportunity to take on real OSINT casework under a separate independent contractor agreement.
This may include:
- Collecting data from a variety of open sources
- Validating and filtering data (removing false positives, identifying relevant signals)
- Structuring findings into pre-defined report templates
- Supporting real-world investigative and intelligence-driven cases
Important:
- This work is not guaranteed
- Participation is completely optional
- Work is paid per project under a separate agreement
- You control your level of involvement based on availability and interest
What You’ll Gain
- Exposure to real-world OSINT workflows and investigative processes
- Experience contributing to internal systems, documentation, and operations
- The opportunity to work on actual casework (if you opt in)
- A strong, resume-relevant foundation in data handling, research, and analysis
- Professional reference and/or letter of recommendation (based on performance)
Who This Is For
- Individuals with a genuine interest in OSINT, investigations, or intelligence work
- People who want real exposure, not just theoretical learning
- Self-directed learners who take initiative and ownership
- Candidates comfortable working with data and learning new tools independently
Requirements
- Basic familiarity with OSINT concepts (not starting from zero)
- Strong attention to detail and ability to filter relevant vs irrelevant information
- General technical literacy (comfortable using modern tools and workflows)
- Ability to work independently and manage time effectively
Nice to Have (Not Required)
- Prior experience with OSINT tools or methodologies
- Experience with structured reporting or analytical work
- Exposure to investigative workflows or intelligence-related fields
Important Notes
- This is an unpaid internship
- There is no formal training program; however, this is a guided, hands-on environment
- For both internal contributions and optional casework, you will have access to support, including:
- an operations manager or team member for questions and guidance
- review and feedback on your work
- revisions and iterative improvement
- If you take on casework, you are expected to complete deliverables, but you are not left on your own—you’ll be supported throughout the process
- Similarly, for general tasks (e.g., documentation, marketing support), expectations, context, and feedback are provided so you can learn through doing
- Engagement level is flexible, but initiative is expected and deadlines must be met once agreed too
- You will get out of this experience what you put into it
