Program Analyst
Location: Washington, DC Remote Work: No Clearance: Secret Work Status: Full-Time Travel Requirements: This position is not expected to travel on a regular basis.

This position is located in the Cybercrime and Illicit Finance Branch of ACB's Cross Border Programs Division. The Cybercrime and Illicit Finance team designs and implements programming to disrupt criminal networks that profit from cybercrime and illicit finance, with the goal of making perpetrators more visible and vulnerable to investigation, prosecution, and conviction. Programming strengthens legislative and regulatory frameworks; builds law enforcement, prosecutorial, and financial investigative capabilities; expands cross-border digital evidence sharing and cryptocurrency tracing skills; and enables coordinated international action to dismantle cybercriminal infrastructure and money laundering networks. These efforts are intended to increase arrests, prosecutions, convictions, extraditions, and asset seizures-directly reducing the threat cybercrime and illicit finance threat to American families, businesses, and critical infrastructure. INL/ACB works with other U.S. agencies-including DOJ, FBI, DHS, and FinCEN-as well as international organizations such as INTERPOL, UNODC, OAS, and the Egmont Group, to implement these programs. This position provides programmatic development and oversight to the INL/ACB Cybercrime and Illicit Finance Team projects.
