Intelligence/Targeting Mission Integrator

About the role

Everforth ECS is seeking an Intelligence/Targeting Mission Integrator to support a Department of War customer’s Agentic Networks Mission Integrator effort in Alexandria, VA. The integrator serves as the critical link between intelligence and targeting mission stakeholders and the technical teams developing data, software, and AI‑enabled capabilities. The role translates intelligence support‑to‑targeting workflows into actionable technical requirements and ensures solutions align with operational needs across the target development lifecycle, including Entity Level Target Development, Basic Target Development (BTD), Intermediate Target Development (ITD), Advanced Target Development (ATD), electronic target folders (ETFs), and targeting remarks.

Responsibilities

• Translate intelligence support‑to‑targeting, operational targeting, and related mission workflows into clear technical, functional, data, and system requirements; decompose mission threads into capability increments, user stories, acceptance criteria, process maps, and prioritized backlog items.
• Prioritize capability increments with Government leads based on mission value, operational urgency, technical dependencies, sequencing, and risk while maintaining end‑to‑end traceability from operational need through implementation, testing, delivery, and user acceptance.
• Evaluate technical approaches and identify architectural trade‑offs, risks, dependencies, integration constraints, and opportunities to automate manual processes, improve interoperability, and apply AI‑enabled capabilities.
• Map intelligence reporting and authoritative data sources to electronic target folders, targeting remarks, and BTD/ITD/ATD outputs; translate doctrinal target‑development standards into actionable engineering and data requirements.
• Coordinate with intelligence, platform, and data owners to integrate all‑source intelligence, commercially available information, target‑system analysis, JIPOE‑derived products, OMS, ETF, MARS, and other Government‑designated sources and systems, including required business rules, data mappings, and authoritative inputs/outputs.
• Engage fires and effects stakeholders to ensure target‑development outputs support target nomination, prioritization, validation, target‑list maintenance, downstream fires planning, dynamic targeting, maritime targeting, and effects synchronization while preserving required human decision authority.
• Maintain operational and technical understanding of the Maven Smart System (MSS) and coordinate integration of third‑party platforms, authoritative data sources, command‑and‑control systems, fires systems, and operational tools to support interoperability and CCMD concepts of employment.
• Coordinate mission and technical requirements across OUSW I&S, R&E, Joint Staff J2, CCMD J2/J23/J2T, DIA, NGA, NRO, CDAO, and other Government stakeholders, facilitating collaboration among intelligence professionals, targeteers, operators, engineers, developers, data and platform owners, vendors, and Government leads.
• Manage user feedback, defect identification, corrective actions, and backlog refinement following demonstrations, pilots, testing, and fielding; support readiness assessments, transition, sustainment, training, and scaling across NIPR, SIPR, and JWICS.
• Plan and support recurring synchronization events, governance reviews, and customer engagements, including agendas, read‑aheads, decision‑support materials, action and risk tracking, and monthly synchronization outputs; travel to CCMDs, Service components, operational units, and vendor locations as required.
• Establish effective feedback loops among analysts, targeteers, users, technical teams, and leadership; identify measures of mission impact based on timeliness, data quality, traceability, interoperability, user adoption, and operational utility.
• Define and coordinate operational requirements for AI‑enabled target‑development workflows, covering target characterization, critical elements, vulnerabilities, collateral damage considerations, aimpoint development, weaponeering support, adjudication, quality control, provenance, confidence, validation, and cross‑command deconfliction.
• Translate LOAC, ROE, classification, control, release, coalition releasability, and cross‑domain dissemination requirements into workflow constraints and operational acceptance criteria.
• Identify auditability and provenance requirements; assess operational risks associated with agent output, false narratives, adversary information manipulation, and inadequate analyst review; recommend safeguards and mitigation measures.
• Develop and support operational test scenarios, mission‑representative evaluations, user acceptance activities, and workflow validation for capability increments, including CDAO, DIA QAF, and Joint Staff J2 JTIM‑related activities as directed.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Requirements

• U.S. citizen with an active DoD Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearance.
• Bachelor’s degree in Intelligence Studies, National Security, Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related discipline (substantial relevant operational experience may be considered in lieu of the degree).
• 6+ years of relevant operational, planning, or headquarters staff experience, including demonstrated experience as an action officer, planner, or effort lead.
• Ability to work onsite at Camp Smith, HI.
• Ability to travel less than 50% throughout the program lifespan to CONUS/OCONUS customer sites and government installations.
• Demonstrated experience supporting the Joint Targeting Cycle at the Combatant Command, Joint Staff, U.S. Special Operations Command, or Intelligence Community level, including translating operational targeting and intelligence requirements into executable technical or capability‑development activities.
• Knowledge of DoD and Intelligence Community intelligence operations and intelligence support to targeting, with experience performing or supporting target development, target systems analysis, intelligence production, or targeting operations.
• Experience with intelligence reporting, target‑development products, electronic target folders, targeting remarks, and BTD, ITD, and ATD processes and associated data.
• Strong problem‑solving and decision‑making capabilities, with a proven ability to weigh costs and benefits and identify appropriate solutions.
• Highly developed interpersonal and oral/written communication skills, capable of interacting professionally with a diverse set of stakeholders.

Desired Skills

• Master’s degree (preferred).
• Agile or PMP certification (strongly preferred).
• Intelligence and targeting development courses with emphasis on joint experience (strongly desired).
• Direct experience supporting a CCMD J2, J23, or J2T; Joint Staff J2; U.S. Special Operations Command; DIA; NGA; NRO; OSD; or comparable DoD/IC intelligence and targeting organization.
• Hands‑on experience with the Maven Smart System (MSS) and understanding of its use across targeting, fires, and effects workflows.
• Experience with OMS, MARS, ETF repositories, JTCG/ME, or other Government‑approved targeting, weaponeering, and mission‑data systems or interfaces.
• Familiarity with intelligence and targeting data standards, data models, APIs, system interfaces, interoperability frameworks, authoritative repositories, and information‑sharing environments.
