- Open to everyoneAny U.S. citizen or national can apply. Some jobs also accept non-citizens; the announcement says so.
This job is open to the public, but you must be a U.S. citizen, national, or someone who owes allegiance to the U.S. Current and former federal employees with competitive or excepted status may also apply. Current ODNI employees must apply through JobsDNI or their application will be removed.

- Lead development of strategic offensive counterintelligence initiatives and assess their effectiveness.

- Lead stakeholders in building a strategy for compartmented collaboration.
- Brief senior intelligence officials on collaboration progress, issues, and challenges.
- Lead assessments to share best practices and lessons learned.
Do you qualify for GS-15?
With experience: The announcement does not set a fixed number of years of required experience. It asks for expert knowledge of strategy development and the intelligence cycle (the process of collecting and analyzing intelligence), and it lists 5 to 10 years leading offensive counterintelligence work as a desired qualification, not a requirement.
With education: A bachelor's degree is the lowest education level accepted. Schools must be accredited by an accrediting body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to count.
How to apply well
What to send:
- Resume, no more than 2 pages, showing job title, employer, start and end dates (month/day/year), and hours worked per week for each job
- Cover letter explaining your qualifications and past work
- Current SF-50 if you are a federal employee, dated within the last 52 weeks of the closing date
- Include the announcement number 27-13103180-DNI/NCSC in the subject line of each document
How you will be rated: You will be rated on how well you meet the listed qualifications. The four essay answers are not scored, but the agency reviews them, and the best qualified candidates are sent to the hiring manager. Resumes longer than 2 pages are removed, and missing documents may cost you consideration.
Tips for this job:
- Keep your resume to 2 pages or less, since longer resumes are removed.
- Write each essay answer yourself, up to 200 words each, because the agency says using AI or a consultant is not allowed.
- Put the announcement number 27-13103180-DNI/NCSC in the subject line of every document you submit.
