Position Summary

The Cyber Mission Integration and Capability Planner supports the integration of Special Access Program (SAP) capabilities into United States Space Force (USSF) cyberspace warfare operations while helping mature organizational processes, governance frameworks, and analytical capabilities within the directorate.

• Contribute to force design activities, studies and analyses, lessons learned programs, and organizational effectiveness assessments.
• Assist in developing performance measures and metrics that support continuous improvement and mission success.
• Strategic Planning and Stakeholder Engagement
• Create executive briefings, action plans, process documentation, and decision papers for MD 6 leadership.
• Communicate technical cyber defense concepts and their operational implications to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Engage with senior leadership, mission partners, acquisition organizations, and operational stakeholders to support mission integration objectives.
