Illuminate seeks exceptionally qualified individuals to serve as an Expert-level Spanish Language-Enabled Socio-Cultural Analyst (LESCA-E) to support USSOCOM. The LESCA-E provides socio-cultural overview for specified Areas of Interest (AOI) with detailed analysis of populations and their relationships with VEOs, TCOs, ESAs, and local Governments. Provide socio-cultural advice and expertise on major components of human society (economic, demographic, legal/regulatory, political/institutional, social/cultural, religious/ideological, and relevant geographic variables). Research, analyze, and produce analytical products encompassing atmospheric information.

Fuse multi-intelligence reporting to conduct predictive analytics, spatial data, human terrain, and social networking and create cohesive all-source products.
