1d•$85,000 - $90,000•Onsite

About The Position

FWI is supporting the Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) Office of Corporate Communications (OCC), the team responsible for how one of the nation's most important intelligence agencies talks to Congress, the public, and its own workforce. This role requires a sharp, detail-obsessed Technical Editor/Writer to help ensure every word is accurate, polished, and on point. This is not a "track changes and move on" role; you will be embedded in a fast-moving, mission-driven environment where what you edit today could brief a senator tomorrow. The work is varied, the stakes are real, and the team is genuinely good at what they do. FWI has been recognized as a Top Workplace by the Washington Post in 2024 and 2025, offering excellent growth opportunities in a collaborative environment. This role is contingent upon position availability.
