Operations Integrator

Leidos has an immediate opening for an Operations Integrator, JAST in the Reston area.

As an Operations Integrator, you will provide embedded and reach back support directly to deployed units and commands, developing processes that enhance warfighter situational understanding of threat networks employing or facilitating improvised threats (such as IEDs) and enabling DOD, IA and IC efforts focused on dismantling, disrupting, and defeating those networks. You will interact directly with the warfighter during the development of intelligence products while coordinating the support packages provided to meet unit and subordinate element operational requirements. You will assist in fusing the operational and intelligence information available to the supported unit while providing an operational perspective to the products, which include target and network analysis packages. As required, you will plan, develop, and deliver tailored operations-intelligence fusion training to supported intelligence consumers and partners.
