  • Monitor and assess global counter-unmanned systems (C-UXS) campaigns, providing recommendations on policy guidance, operational plans, and intelligence integration
  • Coordinate with uniformed planners and senior OSW leadership to evaluate policy and resourcing implications of emerging operational concepts
  • Facilitate integration between U.S. Special Operations Command and stakeholders across DoW, interagency, and intelligence community through preparation of briefings, talking points, and executive summaries

Why This Role? If you're ready to take your OUSD policy experience into special operations and irregular warfare challenges, this position offers the chance to work on some of the most pressing and evolving national security issues while building on the foundation you've already established.

  • Bachelor's degree (BA/BS)
