OSINT Analyst -Open-Source Data Collection and Evidence Archiving

The Centre for Information Resilience (CIR) is an independent organisation dedicated to exposing human rights violations and threats to democracy. We achieve this through open-source research, digital investigations, capacity-building with local partners, and collaboration with media to amplify our impact. 

CIR was born out of a determination to expose those spreading harm – online and offline – around the world, particularly in areas of violent conflict, such as Ukraine, Sudan and Myanmar. Our projects are at the forefront of efforts to investigate and document human rights abuses, war crimes, harms targeting women and minorities, and influence operations. We work closely with multilateral and national justice accountability bodies. 

We're always looking to connect with experienced investigators who specialise in collecting, analysing, and interpreting open-source data to generate actionable intelligence. Whether you're currently working in the private sector, law enforcement, journalism, or national security, we want to hear from you.
