The Influence and Integration Department advances ODNI’s enterprise priorities by translating policy intent into integrated, executable approaches across the Intelligence Community. The department supports ODNI’s policy and mission integration efforts by shaping policy frameworks, strengthening governance and oversight, and guiding capability development that connects strategic direction to mission execution.

The successful candidate will combine knowledge of IC missions and resource processes with strong analytical skills to help senior leaders understand resource choices, evaluate competing demands, translate mission priorities into resource requirements, and ensure resources are effectively aligned and executed against sponsor objectives.
