SOF Targeting Analyst

CACI International • Arlington, VA

2d • $78,700 - $165,200

About The Position

As a CACI SOF Targeting Analyst, you will provide rotational, deployed, embedded, and reach-back support directly to Special Operations Forces (SOF). You will develop intelligence products and coordinate support packages to meet unit and subordinate-element operational requirements. You will also help develop processes that improve SOF understanding of threat networks and enable Department of Defense (DoD), interagency (IA), and intelligence community (IC) efforts to dismantle, disrupt, and defeat those networks.

When deployed, you will embed with SOF to help operational and tactical commanders, staffs, and subordinate units fuse operations and intelligence information. You will identify and analyze problems and recommend solutions based on experience working with DoD, interagency, and international partners. Most deployments last 120 to 180 days.

In a reach-back role, you will support embedded teammates, respond to requests from other SOF units, and work with a wide range of SOF units, institutions, and partners. You will help with pre-deployment training and preparation, conduct professional development within the CACI-WGI SOF Support Team, and mentor team members preparing to deploy. You will also work with teammates to assess targeted enemy organizations’ capabilities and vulnerabilities, identify trends, patterns, and key nodes, and describe their relationships within enemy networks.
