Overview

The Microsoft Threat Analysis Center (MTAC) is looking for a Threat Context Analyst with native or fluent Hindi and Urdu language skills and knowledge of current political affairs in the Indian Subcontinent. MTAC’s mission is to detect, assess, and disrupt digital threats to Microsoft, its customers, and democracies worldwide. MTAC is part of Microsoft’s Corporate, External, and Legal Affairs organization, in the Customer Security & Trust group, and leads much of Microsoft’s work to ensure that our customers are protected from the actions of advanced and persistent adversaries in cyberspace and in the information space. Nation-state cybersecurity and influence threats are occurring with greater frequency, and at times, greater complexity. Understanding these threats and risks, and their geopolitical consequences, is an essential part of our approach to Microsoft, its customers, and democracies worldwide.

In this role, the analyst will leverage Hindi/Urdu language skills and regional, cultural, and geopolitical knowledge to conduct open-source cyber-enabled influence and traditional influence operations investigations. This will require skimming local press and social media in Hindi/Urdu quickly and efficiently to capture the most relevant findings. The analyst will write and brief on a broader set of analytic findings, integrating open-source information with Microsoft proprietary data for internal and external audiences to mitigate threats from nation state actors.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.

In alignment with our Microsoft values, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment for all employees to positively impact our culture every day.
