Night Owl Recon 501(c)(3) Nonprofit
OSINT Workflow Administrator
Night Owl Recon 501(c)(3) Nonprofit, Saint Louis, Missouri, United States, 63146
Night Owl Reconnaissance (NOR) is a grassroots nonprofit organization that uses open-source intelligence (OSINT) and investigative analysis to locate missing persons, support recoveries, and improve public understanding of these cases. Our volunteers work collaboratively with families, advocacy groups, and law enforcement to bring structure, accuracy, and compassion to investigations.
Role Overview This behind the scenes position focuses on developing, maintaining, and overseeing the digital workflows that support NOR’s investigative researchers. The OSINT Workflow Administrator will help manage the digital environments and access pathways used across different platforms, keep these systems organized and up to date, and create training to ensure volunteers use them properly. The goal is to support safe, consistent, and controlled online work across NOR’s nationwide teams.
This is an operational support role rather than an investigative one. It is well suited for someone who is organized, methodical, and comfortable working with structured digital processes.
Responsibilities
Manage the digital environments and access needed for investigative researchers to conduct online work safely and consistently
Oversee the setup, upkeep, and documentation of the systems used across NOR’s research platforms
Track account lifecycles such as creation, rotation, recovery, or retirement, and keep clear internal records
Maintain naming conventions, login information, and access instructions in a controlled and consistent way
Provide investigative researchers with the access they need based on case requirements
Develop and update internal training materials on safe, structured use of NOR’s digital workflows
Monitor for issues such as inactivity, platform changes, or access disruptions, and take corrective steps
Collaborate with NOR leadership to refine policies and improve digital workflow practices over time
Required Qualifications
Practical experience with OSINT research, online investigations, or structured digital research
Experience managing digital identities, account access, or online workflows in a professional setting
Strong attention to detail and comfort with documentation and routine processes
Clear written communication and a reliable, steady work style
Commitment to responsible and ethical handling of sensitive information
Preferred Qualifications
Familiarity with social media platforms, privacy settings, and platform norms
Prior work in trust and safety, IT administration, cybersecurity, or online moderation
Experience supporting or coordinating within volunteer based teams
Trust and Safety Experience
Time Commitment Flexible, generally 2 to 4 hours per week. Work can be completed on your own schedule. Occasional coordination with investigative researchers or leadership may be needed.
What You Gain
Experience supporting a nationwide OSINT organization
Exposure to real world digital workflow and access management practices
Opportunities to build training, documentation, and operational support skills
A meaningful role in supporting missing persons investigations
A professional reference from a national nonprofit
