Cyberspace Operational Assessments Planner

The Opportunity:

Are you looking for an opportunity to combine your technical skills with big picture thinking to make an impact on national security? You understand your customer’s environment and how to analyze capability by identifying and correlating necessary references, supporting documents, existing operational needs, and future plans. You will prepare project charters that describe the purpose, scope, and outcomes of approved projects, including the history of efforts, milestone accomplishments, and measures of success. Then, you will create and maintain Knowledge Management (KM) solutions that will capture the tasks or activities performed, and the information that must be exchanged to accomplish Department of Defense (DoD) missions. As a Cyber Operational planner, support includes preparation of visual briefs, drafting and reviewing orders, tracking of meetings conducted, tasks assigned, outcomes achieved, and being a repository of artifacts associated with each project.

Participate in Operational Planning Teams to ensure operational assessments are considered early in the planning process. Assist in clearly identifying objectives, effects, Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs), and Measures of Performance (MOPs). Support the construction and maintenance of a comprehensive operational assessment capability. Apply a variety of data collection and decision analytics processes to provide actionable recommendations to support client strategic planning and operational decisions. Analyze operational and environmental assessment information displays, decision briefings, and analytical papers to enable operational planning and facilitate senior leadership decisions.
