Introduction:
- The NATO Cyber and Digital Transformation Division (CDT) is developing the NATO Repository of Allied Cyber Responses, an Alliance-wide tool that consolidates information on significant malicious cyber activities targeting Allies, threat actor profiles and the responses taken by Allies. The aim is to strengthen shared situational awareness, identify response patterns, support strategic decision-making, and strengthen coherence across the Alliance.
- As the Repository approaches launch in Q1 2026, CDT requires a dedicated Data Analyst to support data cleaning, transformation, validation, quality assurance, and analytical output generation. This role is critical to ensure that the Repository operates with accurate, consistent, and relevant data that can inform NATO's cyber decision-making processes.
- In addition, efforts are underway to streamline the Cyber Defence Pledge (CDP) process, NATO's flagship mechanism to track Allied cyber resilience postures. The Data Analyst will be required to help support data analysis on Allied self-assessments over a period of maximum six weeks during the annual cycle. This is typically around February-March.
- We are seeking a motivated professional with strong analytical skills, experience from all stages of data processing, and an ability to translate information into meaningful insights for policy audiences.
