Job description

Purpose and Impact

Some questions can't be answered by a single source, a single sensor, or a single perspective. That's where you come in. As an All-Source Intelligence Analyst supporting DIA, you'll pull together intelligence and information from across the community to assess, interpret, forecast, and explain the national security issues that keep senior leaders up at night. Your analysis won't sit on a shelf. It will inform collection, operations, investigations, and decisions at the highest levels of the Department of Defense. At the senior level, you'll do this work at its highest degree of difficulty, and you'll multiply your impact by leading and mentoring the team around you. This position is contingent upon award of contract, business needs, security clearance verification, and funding availability.
