You will work closely with collectors and analysts to refine collection and reporting requirements. You'll also share target-related information and provide feedback to customers as needed. Your role includes issuing relevant products that communicate developments, trends, indications, warnings, and situational awareness related to specific targets. When appropriate, this may include recommendations for countermeasures and courses of action.

You’ll assist in developing databases or working aids that enhance target knowledge and improve collection efforts. Lastly, you will perform pre-release quality control functions to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the intelligence products delivered.

• A degree in a liberal arts field (e.g., English, History, Communications, Languages and Cultures, International Relations, and Political Science) is preferred, but a degree in any field is acceptable.
• Relevant experience must be in an area directly related to the mission (e.g., collection, cyber, and intelligence analysis) and/or a similar mission in the DoD and include drafting/editing intelligence reports.
