About The Position

The volume, speed, and complexity of today’s intelligence environment require analysts who can do more than interpret information. Mission partners need professionals who understand the Joint Targeting Cycle and can improve how targeting intelligence is collected, integrated, analyzed, and delivered to decision-makers. As a Joint Targeting Intelligence Automation Analyst, you will combine targeting expertise, intelligence tradecraft, data integration, and workflow automation to improve mission processes across the Joint Targeting Enterprise. You will work with Joint Staff, Intelligence Community, and Department of War stakeholders to assess existing workflows, identify capability gaps, and develop solutions that reduce manual effort while preserving analytical rigor, security, and human oversight. You will analyze how data moves across targeting systems, intelligence tools, and operational processes. You will develop queries, integrate information from disparate sources, automate repeatable analytical tasks, and support data pipelines, system interfaces, dashboards, and decision-support workflows. Your work will allow analysts to spend less time preparing data and more time evaluating complex targeting problems. You will serve as a bridge between operational users, intelligence analysts, data engineers, software developers, system architects, and program leadership. You will gather requirements, map processes, develop use cases and user stories, and translate targeting needs into capabilities that technical teams can design and implement. You will evaluate artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, data visualization, workflow orchestration, and low-code or no-code technologies for mission applicability. You will support prototyping, testing, user evaluation, integration, deployment, training, and continuous improvement while ensuring solutions align with security, data governance, enterprise architecture, and intelligence oversight requirements. As a trusted advisor, you will brief senior leaders, facilitate working groups, provide time-sensitive recommendations, and communicate complex operational and technical concepts to diverse audiences. You will also help establish repeatable modernization practices and measure results through improved processing time, data accessibility, workflow reliability, interoperability, and analyst effectiveness. This is an opportunity to expand your expertise across targeting, intelligence automation, systems integration, and data strategy while delivering practical capabilities that support critical warfighter decisions.
