Description

Join Our Elite Team as a Collection Strategist at MacDill AFB!

At Leidos, we don’t just fill roles-we ignite careers that drive global defense intelligence forward. We’re searching for an extraordinary Senior-level Collection Strategist to transform the way our nation gathers and leverages crucial intelligence for a Combatant Command (CCMD) and Joint Intelligence Operations.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Revolutionize Intelligence Collection: Dive into the dynamic world of single and multi-INT collection platforms. Evaluate ISR platform performance, operational effectiveness, and mission achievements to set new standards of excellence.
• Define the Metrics of Success: Establish robust Measures of Effectiveness (MoE) and Measures of Performance (MoP). Develop comprehensive assessment reports and summaries by extracting performance data from SIPR and JWICS, turning raw data into strategic insights.
• Craft High-Impact Assessments: Produce clear, persuasive reports-including ISR Platform Effectiveness Assessments and General ISR Assessments-that inform key stakeholders and guide operational decisions.
• Drive Operational Excellence: Disseminate your insights to leadership and assist in the planning and oversight of ISR asset deployment and integration. Your analytical prowess ensures that every intelligence asset and operation contributes to a stronger mission outcome.
• Manage Critical ISR Requirements: Oversee theater ISR requirements, support the development of PED (Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination) processes, and provide essential administrative support for SIGINT Mil-to-Mil agreements with allied nations.
• Strategic Planning and Continuous Assessment: Prepare, update, and review OPLANs/CONPLANs, briefings, and TTPs for airborne ISR assets. Monitor collection results and generate sensitive reconnaissance operations (SRO) assessments, delivering timely, weekly and monthly updates aligned with J32 Joint Chiefs of Staff directives.

What You’ll Need to Succeed

• Proven Security and Trust: A TS/SCI clearance with polygraph eligibility is required along with U.S. Citizenship.
• Expertise Through Experience and Education: Bring either a Master’s degree with 12+ years of related experience or a Bachelor’s with 17+ years of impactful service-ensuring your expertise is both deep and current. Additional experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
• Commitment to Professional Growth: Successfully complete the Collection Management Course and pass the DIA CCMP-F certification exam within one year, demonstrating your dedication to mastering cutting-edge collection strategies.
• Deep Operational Insight (Preferred): A strong grasp of intelligence collection methodologies, force management concepts, and operations will give you an edge in this key role.

At Leidos, your expertise will shape the future of defense intelligence, directly influencing national security at its highest levels. Every day, you’ll be challenging the status quo, working at the nexus of strategic decision-making and operational excellence.

Are you ready to redefine intelligence collection and make your mark on the future of defense? Step into a role where your strategic vision and dedication to excellence will create ripples across global operations. Let’s build a safer world together.

At Leidos, we don’t want someone who "fits the mold"-we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, “what’s next?” before the dust settles on “what’s now.”

If you’re already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2... good. You’ll fit right in.
