As a Collection Management Officer at CIA, you will drive the collection of foreign intelligence and actively manage the two-way dialogue between U.S.
intelligence consumers and the Directorate of Operations (DO).
You will evaluate the foreign intelligence collected by the DO to ensure the DO is providing U.S.
foreign policy and national security decision-makers with timely, accurate, clear, and concise reporting in a manner that safeguards sensitive intelligence sources and methods.
Collection Management Officers use a combination of formal training and independent learning to develop and maintain subject matter expertise on current and looming country- and region-specific issues and/or transnational issues such as counterterrorism, counter proliferation, and cyber.
This subject matter expertise enables Collection Management Officers to understand intelligence needs and identify clandestine collection opportunities that meet the priority requirements of U.S.
foreign intelligence consumers.
Opportunities exist for Collection Management Officers to serve in multi-year assignments overseas or they can spend most or all of their career serving in the Washington, DC area.
All Directorate of Operations (DO) officers are hired at an entry level and train as they are expected to work - as one team.
DO officers are hired into one of two programs:
the Clandestine Service Trainee (CST) program or the Professional Trainee (PT) program.
A CST has three or more years of professional experience, while PT has less than three years of professional experience.
DO officers begin their careers learning the foundations of operations via classroom training, practical exercises, and on-the-job experience gained through a series of interim assignments.
Based on the program into which each applicant is hired, the number of interim assignments will vary.
As part of the program, some DO officers will be expected to:

Operate a motor vehicle without second-party assistance in daytime and nighttime conditions;
Traverse uneven terrain, to include climbing and descending staircases, over fixed minimum distances and in varying weather conditions;
Work non-traditional or erratic schedules;
Make reasoned decisions under time constraints.
At the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), we recognize our Nation's strength comes from the diversity of its people.
People from a broad range of backgrounds and viewpoints work at CIA, and our diverse teams are the reason we can keep our country safe.
Our benefits support every aspect of a working professional's life, including health and wellness, time off, family, finances, and continuing education.
Our programs include highly sought-after government health benefits, flexible schedules, sick leave, and childcare.
In some cases, we also offer sign-on incentives and cover moving expenses if you relocate.
As a CIA employee, you'll also get the satisfaction of knowing your work is part of something bigger than yourself.
Our work is driven by one mission:
to keep our Nation safe.
Every day is an opportunity to enhance U.S.
national security.
Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution (applicants within one year of earning a four-year degree will be considered); there is no preferred major or program of study (degrees from foreign academic institutions are accepted, but you are responsible for obtaining and providing CIA with a credential evaluation from an accredited firm confirming that the foreign degree is the equivalent of a BA/BS and/or MA/MS degree conferred by a U.S.
college or university)
At least a 3.0 GPA on a 4-point scale is preferred
Personal integrity
Strong interpersonal and communication skills (verbal and written)
Action- and results-oriented
Ability to work effectively as part of a team and independently
Flexibility, adaptability, and commitment to the mission of the CIA and the Directorate of Operations
Ability to take initiative and develop constructive partnerships
Strong critical thinking, detail-orientation, and problem-solving skills
Ability to research, analyze, synthesize, and prioritize information
