The National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) leads the nation's effort to protect the United States from terrorism by integrating, analyzing and sharing information to drive whole-of-government action and achieve our national CT objectives.

Duties

NCTC's Directorate of Intelligence (DI) was mandated by Congress to be the primary organization in the United States Government for analyzing and integrating terrorism intelligence. The DI provides senior policymakers with integrated and coordinated terrorism analysis and produces the full range of analytic products, including daily Terrorism Intelligence Briefs (TIBs), President's Daily Briefs (PDBs), warning products, short-term and longer-term research, and alternative analysis. The National Counterterrorism Center's Directorate of Intelligence (NCTC/DI) is seeking a highly motivated officer to lead a high-performing team of officers working on terrorism-related hostage and detainee issues, including current and former detainees at Guantanamo Bay. This officer will guide the team's rigorous research, pursuit of information, and collaboration to develop unique and insightful analysis that help policymakers make informed national security and foreign policy decisions. Additionally, the selected candidate will be expected to: Provide expert guidance and leadership to multiple teams in the production of well-crafted and sophisticated finished intelligence products on sometimes controversial or particularly difficult issues in support of United States (US) foreign policy and national security objectives; review final analytic products, written and oral, for clarity, organization, accuracy, and logic; effectively explain highly complex concepts and results to non-expert customers and tailor products to correspond to customer needs. Provide intellectual leadership and strategic direction for the division, manage the flow of taskings, and encourage teamwork and collaboration with counterparts throughout NCTC, ODNI, and the IC. Mentor, develop, and evaluate analysts of varying experience levels and from different home agencies, each with its own unique expectations, opportunities, and performance review systems. Help drive the group's analytic program, ensuring that products incorporate the highest IC tradecraft standards and capitalize on NCTC's unique data accesses and tools. Recruit, develop, and retain a diverse and highly qualified workforce.
