Full job description

Responsibilities

Adversaries don't just target our networks — they target our people, our programs, and our supply chains. Peraton is looking for a Counterintelligence Specialist to help USCYBERCOM J2X stay ahead of those threats at Fort Meade, MD.

 

In this role, you'll operate at the strategic and proactive edge of the CI mission — collaborating with internal and external partners to build a common operating picture, informing the development of advanced CI concepts, and supporting the full spectrum of CI functions from risk assessments to insider threat programs. This is a senior, certification-required role for professionals who have spent careers mastering the art and science of counterintelligence — and are ready to apply that expertise at one of the most targeted commands in the U.S. government.

What You'll Do

  • Collaborate with internal and external CI partners to develop a holistic understanding and common operating picture of CI activities across USCYBERCOM J2X
  • Assess large, diversified data sets to identify trends, patterns, and anomalies that inform CI activities and threat assessments
  • Build comprehensive analytical pictures of data sets to support development of advanced CI concepts, principles, and techniques
  • Inform the design and implementation of advanced CI concepts and proactive CI strategies
  • Ensure colleagues, team members, and leadership remain well-informed on the status and disposition of relevant CI products and associated activities
  • Maintain eligibility for Special Access Programs (SAPs) and/or Alternative Compensatory Control Measures (ACCMs)
  • Support CI risk assessments, supply chain risk assessments, and CI support to Research, Development, and Acquisition (RDA)
  • Support CI agent or desk officer functions across CI collection, functional services, investigations, and operations
  • Counter espionage, international terrorism, and CI insider threats
  • Support force protection and Defense Critical Infrastructure Program (DCIP) activities

Qualifications

What You Bring

Required:

  • Active Top Secret/SCI (TS/SCI) clearance with Polygraph
  • Eligibility for Special Access Programs (SAPs) and/or ACCMs — must be maintained throughout the period of performance
  • Minimum of 8 years with BS/BA; Minimum of 6 years with MS/MA; Minimum of 3 years with PhD
  • Demonstrated experience and advanced training in CI principles, techniques, and operations
  • Working knowledge of IC/DoD classification guidelines and CI oversight requirements
  • Ability to assess large data sets to identify trends, patterns, and anomalies
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills

Preferred:

  • Experience supporting CI operations or serving as a counterintelligence desk officer
  • Background in CI risk assessments, supply chain risk assessments, or CI support to RDA
  • Demonstrated experience supporting at least two of the four CI missions: countering espionage/terrorism/insider threat; force protection; Defense Critical Infrastructure Protection (DCIP); RDA support
  • Familiarity with SAP and ACCM program management and oversight requirements
  • 12+ years of relevant experience, including work within the last 2 years
  • Master's degree in a related field — or a Bachelor's degree plus 5 additional years of senior-level experience (17 years total)
  • Advanced counterintelligence certification demonstrating expertise in integrating and cultivating strategic and proactive CI concepts
