This work sits at a critical point in the mission lifecycle; translating operational needs into actionable collection guidance that can move cleanly across teams, systems, and decision-makers without losing precision along the way.
This is an exciting opportunity to join us as a Source Strategies Analyst to support the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s (NGA) Source mission. This position is designed for a professional who understands GEOINT collection beyond the surface level. Someone who recognizes that effective collection management is not simply task tracking or documentation, but the ability to create alignment across analysts, mission partners, requirements, and operational priorities that are constantly evolving. You’ll help shape how GEOINT collection strategies are developed, communicated, and sustained across mission stakeholders. Some efforts will focus on refining workflows and operational guidance. Others will involve supporting source strategies, documenting best practices, building performance support materials, or helping teams process and organize collection-related information in ways that improve execution and continuity. If you have strong operational awareness, disciplined organization, and the ability to communicate complex collection processes in a way that others can immediately apply, join XTS today!
