GEOINT Hybrid Analysts analyze and interpret the full spectrum of spatial data to support U.S. military and policymaker interests. They combine an understanding of geospatial data and imagery analysis to characterize events, discover relationships and trends, and produce geospatial-intelligence. These analysts conduct multi-INT research, conduct descriptive analyses, populate and exploit intellige

Duties

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Note: Incumbent is subject to an automatic mission hold for 36 months, must complete hands-on learning and obtain required security clearances. Incumbent must also be able to deploy on quick notice once all qualifications are acquired to meet mission need.

The RRDO must have experience working with and using data in support of operations with the ability to manipulate data, identify gaps in data, and make recommendations on using data. The RRDO will be the central position for identifying data NGA deployers use and ensuring it is remanded back to NGA and organized for broader enterprise use.The RRDO must have experience in leadership and intelligence analysis beyond imagery analysis or geospatial analysis alone. All candidates must be able to understand and lead a team capable of the full spectrum of intelligence discipline focused on GEOINT. This position will require regular interaction and support to with J2, J3, and J5 activities across the Department of Defense (DoD) and COCOMS and they will be required to work across multiple offices and teams to collaborate on data efforts.Candidates must have experience managing personnel in a deployed environment supporting operational forces. Successful candidates must understand and have experience supporting both traditional military operations and Special Operations Command (SOCOM) activities. The analyst will be familiar with non-traditional sources of information/data that enable Activities Based Intelligence (ABI). The RRDO will maintain Expeditionary Operations (IX) training and qualifications for rapid deployment to a forward location, potentially into a conflict zone or disaster response and recovery situation. Analysts will maintain deployer medical requirements and qualifications, system access, small arms qualifications, and deployer-specific equipment familiarity. This includes, but is not limited to, NGA, Department of Defense (DoD), and Department of State (DoS) training, as well as tradecraft suitability screening. The analyst will be trained on, and maintain, advanced tradecraft skills and knowledge, including Activity-Based Intelligence (ABI), Forensic Network Analysis (FNA). When deployed or working as part of a reach-back team, working extended hours, weekends, and holidays may be necessary. Responsibilities may also include attending multi-service, multi-national meetings, prioritizing RFIs, and representing NGA and the broader intelligence community, conducting briefings, and conveying status and situation reports to leadership. The RRDO must be capable of capitalizing on reach-back support and be knowledgeable of NGA's overall analytic and support structure in order to find assistance when needed. The analyst must be prepared to brief and convey situations, statutes, needs, and challenges to NGA staff and leadership.
