OSINT Researcher
About the Role:
I’m an independent political journalist and YouTube creator working on hard-hitting investigative stories — covering immigration, crime, government spending, and nonprofits. I’m looking for an OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) researcher to help me dig deeper and uncover what others miss.
You’ll work closely with me to identify people, follow paper trails, analyze public records, and scrape online info that fuels real exposés. This is for someone who lives to dig, verify, and uncover what’s hidden.
What You'll Do:
- Investigate people, organizations, and topics using public records, social media, databases, and Google-fu
- Track nonprofit finances, government contracts, and FOIA-able data
- Help connect dots across platforms to tell the full story
- Flag red flags, inconsistencies, or financial irregularities
- Provide background research to support on-camera reporting
You’re a Good Fit If You:
- Are detail-obsessed and good at internet sleuthing
- Are familiar with public record lookups, search operators, and social scraping
- Know how to follow digital trails (funding, people, orgs)
- Love politics, independent media, and pushing back against easy narratives
- Bonus if you’ve worked with IRS 990s, grants, FOIA, or legal databases
To Apply:
Send a short note on who you are, what excites you about investigative work, and any research projects or tools you’ve used. If you've ever found something others couldn't — tell me about it.
