Job Description:

The International Market Intelligence Analyst develops and maintains consistent, decision-ready budget and competitive information for international autonomous combat aircraft markets. The role supports GTM leads and Mission Success with current evidence on funding, programs, competitors, acquisition pathways, and industrial expectations.

This is a cumulative knowledge role that brings together two related analytic disciplines. The analyst maintains structured international budget and competitive data, applies established methods to heterogeneous public and commercial sources, and produces recurring country and regional reads for priority markets.

Regional and country GTM leads own their customers, captures, and win strategies. This role supports those leads with the budget and competitive evidence needed to shape pursuits and inform capture strategies. It does not own Price-to-Win, final pricing posture, customer engagement, or execution of customer-funded programs.
