Job description

Purpose and Impact

Intelligence doesn't support operations by accident. Someone has to build the bridge between what the IC can collect and analyze and what commanders actually need to plan and execute. As an Intelligence Planner supporting DIA, you'll integrate Defense and National intelligence capabilities, collection, analysis, and targeting, into operational planning across the Department of Defense. When a campaign plan comes together or a crisis breaks, your work is what makes intelligence show up on time and on target. 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.

Location: National Capital Region (NCR)

Work Schedule: 0600 and 1800 – 8 hours M-F
