About The Position

Raw intelligence is only as valuable as the reporting that gets it into the right hands. Peraton is looking for a Collection Manager specializing in Reports Officer functions to keep USCYBERCOM J2X's intelligence reporting pipeline running with precision at Fort Meade, MD. In this role, you'll own the process that takes raw, unevaluated intelligence information and transforms it into properly reviewed, coordinated, and disseminated reports that meet the command's reporting obligations and oversight requirements. You'll track metrics, enforce SOPs, manage databases, and keep senior leaders informed on policy developments that affect dissemination and source management. This is a process-critical role for professionals who understand that the quality of intelligence reporting is just as important as the quality of the intelligence itself.
