Career-forged practitioners
Senior investigators, forensic examiners, customs and border professionals, evaluators, and instructional designers who have done the work at a high level — and can teach it. Credentials matter; judgment matters more.
Join the Hive
Build institutions that outlast the program.
Hive's work is done by senior practitioners embedded inside partner agencies — not by staff in a home office. If you have spent a career building real operational capability and you want that experience to count where it matters, this is the firm for you.
The Hive Model
Embedded advisory, not arm's-length consulting.
We place career-forged advisors directly alongside the law enforcement, prosecutorial, judicial, and border-security institutions we support — and we stay long enough for the results to hold.
Hive supports the full breadth of U.S. Government mission partners — the Department of State and INL, and increasingly DoD, DOJ, DHS, and CBP — across digital forensics, transnational organized crime investigations, border security and targeting, monitoring and evaluation, training and instructional design, and program management. Our advisors do not deliver a slide deck and leave. They build forensically sound process, mentor through active casework, stand up targeting centers, and codify the SOPs that let a partner agency keep performing after the program cycle ends.
That model only works because of who does the work. Hive advisors bring decades of operational judgment, the discipline to transfer it, and the temperament to do both far from home, inside another institution's chain of command.
Who We Look For
The profile.
Field-deployed
Roles are frequently TDY or long-term deployments to partner countries — the Eastern Caribbean, Central America, West Africa, and beyond. Comfort operating overseas, inside a U.S. Embassy framework and another agency's environment, is essential.
Mission-first
Our advisors measure success by the partner's capability, not the hours billed. The work is demanding, often sensitive, and consequential — it extends the security of the United States outward by strengthening the institutions that meet threats first.
Current Openings
We're recruiting across our advisory areas.
