Peraton•Fort Meade, MD

11d•Onsite

About The Position

The Defense Intelligence Enterprise doesn't synchronize itself. Peraton is looking for an Analytic Methodologist to help USCYBERCOM J2 build, shape, and advance the analytic strategies that keep the Defense Intelligence Enterprise for Cyber (DIE-C) aligned and effective at Fort Meade, MD. In this role, you'll work at the intersection of methodology, strategy, and intelligence integration — deconstructing complex key intelligence questions, developing the frameworks that structure how the command approaches them, and ensuring J2's analytic efforts remain synchronized across strategic, operational, and tactical levels. This is a senior, conceptually demanding role for professionals who can operate comfortably with ambiguity, think in systems, and translate strategic intent into actionable analytic approaches.

Requirements

Active Top Secret/SCI (TS/SCI) clearance with Polygraph
Minimum of 12 years w/o a degree or 10 years with AS/AA or 8 years with BS/BA or 6 years with MS/MA or 3 years with PhD
