Every day, decision are made that shape operations across the U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility. Those decisions depend on intelligence that is clear, defensible, and timely intelligence that turns geospatial data into understanding. This role exists to make that happen. This is an exciting opportunity to join us as a Senior Data Scientist to support the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) on high-priority mission. The work is operational, mission-driven, and grounded in real-world impact to inform planning, targeting, and execution. Across the USSOUTHCOM AOR, transnational criminal organizations adapt quickly, shifting routes, methods, and infrastructure. Coca cultivation and production regions change. Networks evolve. The data is massive, fragmented, and imperfect. You will be sought to bring order to that complexity. Taking large, diverse datasets and building analytic processes that expose patterns, relationships, and behaviors others can’t see. You’ll design workflows that can be repeated, trusted, and scaled. This is a senior, independent role. You will lead analytic efforts with minimal direction, applying experience, judgment, and rigor to every product. Ensuring analytic standards are met, assumptions are clear, and conclusions are defensible aligned with ICD 203 and ICD 206. Collaborating across NGA and Intelligence Community partners, you’ll help integrate perspectives and strengthen collective understanding. Advising government leadership on analytic methodologies, processes, and technologies, while mentoring others and setting the standards for quality and relevance. The mission will keep moving, network will adapt, patterns will shift, and new questions will emerge. What won’t change is the need for intelligence that is trusted, actionable, and timely. If you want to be a part of delivering that clarity, join XTS today!
