As an OUSD Policy Analyst supporting ASW SO/LIC, you'll leverage your established policy analysis skills while expanding into strategic defense challenges at the intersection of special operations and irregular warfare.

• Analyze and integrate multi-source intelligence, including C-UXS data, to:
  • Monitor and assess global C-UXS campaigns and operations
  • Review, evaluate, and categorize high volumes of complex intelligence to identify patterns and trends
  • Produce clear, concise intelligence products, speculative analysis, and evaluations
  • Advise on changes to policy guidance, operational plans, and intelligence activities
• Coordinate with uniformed planners and senior OSW leaders to address policy and resource implications of emerging operational concepts
• Serve as a liaison between U.S. Special Operations Command and stakeholders across DoW, interagency, and intelligence community by preparing briefings, talking points, and executive summaries for high-level forums

Why This Role? If you're ready to take your OUSD policy experience into special operations and irregular warfare challenges, this position offers the chance to work on some of the most pressing and evolving national security issues while building on the foundation you've already established.
