Linguist

The Challenge:

Critical decisions are made every single day in the military. What if you could use your analytical and language skills to help them make informed decisions? With all the information available today, it takes a skilled analyst and proficient linguist to know how to find and interpret the best data to give their clients the right answers. As a language enabled analyst, you can use your language and analytical skills combined with your experience and your attention to detail to develop intelligence products to give your client the actionable intelligence and context they need. If you have strong analytical and language skills and a problem-solving mindset, we have an opportunity to use those skills to protect our national security.

As a language enabled analyst on our team, you’ll help your client understand the mission environment. You’ll gain an understanding of various collection platforms as you explore new data sources, craft effective queries, and combine information from various sources. You’ll learn how to validate information and apply client tradecraft as you help build assessments for the client. You will become the authority on your topic, so your client will look to you for time-critical recommendations, often under pressure. This is a chance to define your expertise, develop new skills, and share your skills with other analysts. We focus on growing as a team to deliver the best support to our customers, so you’ll have resources for mentoring and learning new skills and tools.
