If you have a talent for building trust across organizational and national boundaries, and the tradecraft to back it up, this role puts that skill set at the center of a consequential mission.

What You'll Do

• Research, develop, manage, and integrate intelligence partnerships between USCYBERCOM and foreign, interagency, academic, and industry entities
• Provide full-range coordination with command partners - foreign and domestic - to inform Intelligence Directorate leadership
• Manage portfolios of foreign and domestic partners across a range of governmental requirements and engagement priorities
• Utilize interagency processes to enable and expand information sharing agreements
• Identify releasable intelligence, coordinate its release, and deconflict with other agencies to maximize the free flow of intelligence between partners
• Assess partnership potential and recommend future partners for USCYBERCOM to pursue
• Attend intelligence exchanges between USCYBERCOM and intelligence partners, providing oversight, expertise, and command representation
• Integrate CCMDs, service components, IC agencies, and NSA into engagements as appropriate
• Develop methodologies for tracking Command progress against strategic initiatives and policy implementation
• Author and maintain Operating Instructions (OIs) for Command-wide programs and initiatives
• Travel approximately 25% CONUS and OCONUS; valid passport required
