Sr. GEOINT Source Strategies Analyst

About the role

The Senior GEOINT Source Strategies Analyst applies operational collection management expertise across the full TCPED pipeline to develop multi-source collection strategies that address complex and unusual intelligence requirements. You work with customers and source providers to translate intelligence needs into taskable collection requirements, manage large multi-source datasets, and apply knowledge of overhead sensor phenomenology and automated collection approaches to improve strategy quality. You navigate NSG and IC collection management structures and tools and operate effectively across a multi-location program management environment.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with customers and source providers to develop comprehensive multi-intelligence, multi-source strategies addressing complex or unusual intelligence problems
• Apply TCPED lifecycle expertise — from information need development and tasking through collection, processing, exploitation, and dissemination — including real-time and activity-based collection
• Manage and sense-make large multi-source datasets; assess model output confidence and reliability metrics to inform collection decisions
• Develop automated collection strategies; work with data scientists to apply inferencing methodologies deriving insights from temporal and spatial datasets
• Support the research phase of Information Need development; advise on phenomenology impacts on tasking of traditional and non-traditional GEOINT sources
• Navigate NSG focus areas and collection management structures; leverage IC collaborative tools for GEOINT collection, production, and visualization
• Leverage GEOINT collection management systems to coordinate collection activity reflecting knowledge of the GEOINT Community, its focus areas, and its collection management structures
• Multi-task across simultaneous operational demands in a program management environment supporting several geographically separated locations

Qualifications

• TS/SCI clearance with polygraph
• Minimum 10 experience points required (see experience point calculation below)
• HS diploma or GED
• 5+ years of experience with TCPED of GEOINT data, including support to real-time and activity-based collection
• 5+ years of experience managing large multi-source data, sensemaking, assessing metrics associated with model output confidence/reliability, developing automated collection strategies, and working with data scientists
• Knowledge of traditional and developing overhead sensors and capabilities; exposure to automated collection strategies and inferencing methodologies deriving insights from temporal and spatial datasets
• Experience with NSG focus areas and collection management structures, including NSG/IC collaborative tools for GEOINT collection, production, and visualization
• Ability to collaborate with customers and source providers to develop comprehensive multi-intelligence, multi-source strategies for complex or unusual intelligence problems
• Ability to support research phase of Information Need development and understand impacts of phenomenology on tasking of traditional and non-traditional GEOINT
• Experience with GEOINT collection management systems reflecting knowledge of the GEOINT Community, its focus areas, and its collection management structures
• Experience multi-tasking across day-to-day operations in a program management environment spanning multiple geographically separated locations

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience providing feedback to assist with development of training materials
• Experience with research, evaluation, and documentation of unique and non-traditional National Technical Means (NTM) sensor capabilities
• Experience turning intelligence capabilities and workflows into learning objectives for training audiences
• Operational experience with vector data
