About Tech Against Terrorism

Tech Against Terrorism aims to save lives and prevent harm by disrupting terrorist activity online while upholding human rights, combining open-source intelligence investigations with sophisticated technical tooling and capacity-building for governments and tech platforms.

The organisation works closely with the United Nations, democratic governments, tech companies, and civil society, and its Threat Intelligence team underpins threat analysis, specialist services, and training delivered to partners worldwide.

Our flagship technical product is the Terrorist Content Analytics Platform (TCAP), a secure alerting and analytics system that detects and verifies terrorist or violent extremist content online and notifies platforms so it can be reviewed and removed. Since launch, TCAP has alerted a large and growing number of technology companies to tens of thousands of pieces of terrorist content, and now also provides a curated archive and hash-sharing capability to support research, moderation, and disruption efforts.

The Role

Tech Against Terrorism is seeking a Product Manager to own the development, roadmap, and strategic impact of our open-source intelligence technical products that disrupt online terrorism.

You will act as the bridge between our threat intelligence operations and our engineering capabilities. To succeed, you must understand the tradecraft and the data; you will use this expertise to design tools that empower analysts and disrupt terrorist networks.

You will have a remit across the entire tech stack, primarily focusing on the TCAP, but also driving the internal adoption of agentic AI workflows, proprietary tools, and licensed third-party software.

This role is suited to either an experienced threat intelligence professional who has transitioned into product management, or a product manager with demonstrable experience working in an open-source intelligence role. Either way, you must be able to operate credibly across both disciplines from day one.

This is a new role with a broad and varied remit, and the opportunity to lead a world-leading threat intelligence technical capability with demonstrable impact on the core mission of disrupting terrorist use of the internet.

Further to this role, you will on occasion contribute to projects delivered through our sister organisation QuantSpark, an AI consultancy that builds data products for enterprise and public sector clients. On these projects, you will deploy your expertise to build products for government and national security clients, ensuring delivery to budget, scope, and a high standard of client satisfaction.

What You Will Do

• Own the TCAP Manage the full lifecycle of the Terrorist Content Analytics Platform: roadmap, performance, and delivery. This means driving innovation and new capabilities by directing the priorities of our data science, software engineering, and cloud engineering team.
• Drive AI Adoption Lead the introduction of new tools within the OSINT team, identifying where technology can reduce analyst burden and accelerate operational disruption. You do not need to write code, but you will need a solid conceptual understanding of how LLMs and AI agents work to manage engineers effectively and make good build-vs-buy decisions.
• Deliver Operational Impact Your product decisions should translate directly into increased analyst capacity, broader coverage of terrorist activity online, improved analytical precision, and more effective disruption. You will own the metrics that demonstrate this, building dashboards and reports that give stakeholders clear, actionable evidence of mission impact.
• Intelligence Collection and Monitoring This role includes fractional participation in TAT's core OSINT collection rota, estimated at approximately one day per week. This involves monitoring, investigating, and analysing emerging terrorist and violent extremist activity online, producing timely and accurate assessments using best-practice OSINT tooling and tradecraft, and helps ensure that technical products remain grounded in the latest understanding of the threat landscape. During periods of surge activity, such as live crisis incidents, you will operate as a core member of the Threat Intelligence team.
• Enable Commercial Customers Oversee the success of external users accessing our Data-as-a-Service products, APIs, and hash-sharing capabilities, and work with senior leadership to communicate value to funders and commercial partners.
• Technical Strategy and Global Standards Apply a solid foundational understanding of LLMs and AI principles to guide how these technologies are adopted within the organisation. Contribute to TAT's mission of setting global standards for the use of technology and AI in countering terrorist use of the internet.
  
  

Working Arrangements

• Core hours are 0900-1800. On occasion you will require an early start or late finish to overlap with international team members in Canada and Australia. Working hours can be flexed to accommodate this.
• On call: a minimum of one weekend on call per month. Longer hours may be required during live incidents, but these are the exception rather than the norm.
• Travel: international travel approximately once per quarter to attend conferences or run stakeholder training sessions.
• Subject matter: this role involves regular exposure to terrorist and violent extremist material. We take the wellbeing of our team seriously and have support structures in place, including the use of a dedicated counselling and therapeutic support service.
  
  

Why This Role

• You will have genuine influence over tools that are actively used in counter-terrorism operations globally. 
  • You will represent TAT and contribute to the global conversation on technology standards in counter-terrorism, building a public profile that few roles offer.
  • A dedicated training and development budget to support your growth.
  • A small, expert team where your contributions are visible and your voice is heard.
  • The rare opportunity to apply deep domain expertise to a product challenge that genuinely matters.
    
    
• What We Are Looking For
  
  Essential
  
  
  • Intelligence Background: Experience in intelligence analysis, OSINT, or counter-terrorism. You must understand the adversary, the data, and the analytical tradecraft involved.
  • Product Management Foundations: A solid grounding in product management principles with demonstrable experience leading or overseeing the delivery of a technical product.
  • Technical Literacy: A strong conceptual understanding of core technical principles, specifically how LLMs and AI agents work and how they can be effectively deployed. You do not need to be a developer, but you must be technically fluent.
  • Project Delivery: Experience delivering complex projects to scope and budget.
  • Stakeholder Communication: Excellent written and verbal skills, capable of explaining complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders such as funders and government officials.
  • Working at Pace: Demonstrable experience working on early-stage products within fast-paced environments, with high ambiguity and fast-changing requirements.
    
    

Desirable

• Formal product management experience in a software environment.
• Familiarity with OSINT platforms and technology.
