Irregular Warfare Policy Advisor
The Opportunity:
As a defense mission professional, you ask questions others don't. You understand the nuances of complex situations. You use your skills to think bigger and push further, solving complex problems. We're looking for an expert like you to create solutions for missions that keep our nation safe.
As an Irregular Warfare Policy Advisor, you know the fast-paced work environment for executive-level audiences and high performing teams to work with. You will offer your expertise in foreign policy, defense policy, engagement planning, experimentation, and security cooperation. You will support senior DoD policy decisions on the use of Special Operations Forces (SOF) and the conduct of Irregular Warfare by drafting background papers, decision memoranda, and talking points. You will identify gaps in authorities, permissions, and policies, and review military plans and activities for inclusion of national policy goals and directives on IW and the use of SOF. You'll leverage your excellent communication skills to build relationships across DoD, U.S. agencies and departments, military commands, academia, non-governmental organizations, and international partners to foster information exchange on the use of SOF and the conduct of IW.
