Paramilitary Operations Officer/Specialized Skills Officer

Employer: CIA
Location:Washington, DC metropolitan area
Salary: $60,805 – $100,736

The Directorate of Operations (DO) is a cadre of action- and results-oriented professionals who accept significant, demanding responsibilities and accountability for results. Paramilitary Operations Officers (PMOO) and Specialized Skills Officers (SSO) are distinct occupations in the DO, but together they play a unique role and provide unique capabilities in support of conventional and unconventional operations overseas.

Most DO officers, including PMOOs and SSOs, are hired at an entry level and train as they are expected to work--as one team. All DO officers begin their careers spending one to two years learning the foundations of clandestine operational tradecraft via classroom training, practical exercise, and on-the-job experience. PMOOs and SSOs must successfully complete foundational training as a DO Operations Officer.

In addition, PMOOs are required to successfully complete specialized training to prepare them for service in hazardous and austere environments overseas. SSOs transition into a career focused on operating and maintaining infrastructure necessary to facilitate and support missions conducted under CIA-unique authorities. SSOs serve primarily at CIA Headquarters, but have frequent opportunities for temporary duty travel and/or assignments abroad.

Minimum requirements include:
US citizenship at the time of application (dual national US citizens are eligible)
A four-year college/university degree from an accredited institution (applicants within one year of earning a four-year degree will be considered)
Ability to work both autonomously and as part of a team
Flexibility to adapt to changing work and training requirements
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Ability to make decisions to meet existing conditions and mission requirements rather than relying on preset assumptions and goals

Competitive Paramilitary Operations Officer applicants have:
Military special operations or combat arms experience (ground, air or maritime)
Served in combat leadership positions
Willingness to serve in hazardous and austere environments overseas (previous foreign travel and foreign language is valued, but not required)

Competitive Specialized Skills Officer applicants have expertise or experience in:
Social communications, media, marketing, technology development, business, finance or legal
Military aviation and military/merchant maritime industries, military psychological operations, and/or information operations
Counterintelligence
