Job description

Overview

Apogee is seeking an Intelligence Planner – GEOINT to support the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC). This role provides GEOINT-focused intelligence planning and integration in support of space and missile defense missions, ensuring geospatial requirements are defined, prioritized, and synchronized with collection, analysis, and operational planning efforts.

The Intelligence Planner develops and refines GEOINT collection and production requirements, coordinates with internal teams and external mission partners, and integrates GEOINT into operational plans, targeting cycles, and intelligence synchronization matrices. Responsibilities include assessing geospatial information needs, identifying coverage gaps and risk, recommending collection strategies (e.g., imagery, geospatial data, and derived products), and tracking collection/exploitation/production status to support decision advantage. The planner produces and maintains planning artifacts such as collection plans, GEOINT annex inputs, requirements documentation, briefs, and synchronization products, and ensures GEOINT outputs are tailored to customer priorities and timelines.

This is a full-time opportunity at Petterson Space Force Base (PSFB), CO.
