The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) Directorate for Mission Integration (MI) creates a consistent and holistic view of intelligence from collection to analysis and serves as the Director of National Intelligence's (DNI) principal advisor on all aspects of intelligence. MI integrates mission capabilities, informs enterprise resource and policy decisions, and ensures the delivery of timely, objective, accurate, and relevant intelligence.

Duties

Serve as the lead within NIMC's Mission Management Group for partnering with the Mission Integration Directorate (especially MPAC and the NIC), other relevant ODNI offices, the Department of Defense, IC and US Government entities, and (as applicable) the private sector to develop a common understanding of the spectrum of concepts for risk relevant to the IC (e.g. risk to national interests, investments / divestment risks, etc). Build and apply deep expertise on the history, policy, and current IC strategies and challenges related to national security risk. Initiate, cultivate, and maintain productive working relationships with peers and senior leaders across the IC in order to coordinate strategy development activities and evolving requirements and promote the implementation of mission and enterprise objectives. Serve as the IMMCOM Executive Secretariat for risk, crisis, and warning. Develop, in conjunction with other ODNI, IC, and DOD partners, a common approach on risks to U.S. national security interests and how resource decisions can be informed by warning issues. Assist NIMs in identifying options to address risk as a result of emerging threats, highlighting cascading events, and ensuring accurate warning of events that may require shifts in national security posture or priorities. The approach should result in warning efforts that follow a structured, repeatable process, identify needed resources, and incorporate a risk architecture that can apply across regions, functions, and domains. Develop and advance a common lexicon of terms and definitions for IC risk and strategic warning efforts to ensure effective communication with oversight bodies, internal stakeholders, and external customers. Such a lexicon should incorporate the different circumstances risk can be used (i.e. risk of instability to provide warning or risk of delaying or divesting investments to inform budgetary decisions). Coordinate across regional, functional, and domain NIM teams, particularly NIOs and NICOs, to develop a common framework and process to identify and disseminate indicators and thresholds for alerting policymakers of impending and potential threats to U.S. interests and providing warning. Advise and provide subject matter expertise on building IC warning capacity and capability as required. Assist NIMs in integrating ODNI and IC warning efforts through their strategy boards and Unifying Intelligence Strategies. The NIM communities of interest are natural vehicles to consider adverse trends, identify where the IC can divest or accept risk, and respond to warning indicators with actions such as collection emphasis messages. Work across regional, functional, and domain NIM teams, particularly NIOs and NICOs, to develop ways to measure or quantify risk across the IC and a means to display a global picture of risk to aid in decision making and warning. Conduct research to develop an understanding of relevant mission requirements in support of national priorities, strategies, as well as Unifying Intelligence Strategies. Assist in the identification, mitigation, and development of solutions to emerging threats, intelligence gaps, and recommendations for realignment of resources to improve intelligence support and risk management. Implement, promote, and educate across NIM teams and ODNI entities on NIM Council crisis management procedures, function as primary ODNI point of contact for ICPG 900.2 Intelligence Community Crisis Management, and track National Intelligence Crisis Manager (NICM) designations. Research and develop an actionable risk framework that will enable long-term resource planning in constrained budget environments, identify resource trade space or offsets, and support IC leader decision-making amid an evolving national security landscape. Conduct assessments to capture IC progress towards mission and enterprise objectives and assess how well the IC is postured for future environments. Serve as the MMG lead to partner with other elements in MMG, NIMC, and across DMI and ODNI to support discussions about other complex, hard topics as they emerge (e.g. return on investment, innovation, measuring performance/impact).
