Policy Application Program Analyst

Our Policy Application Program Analyst support different groups and where each will
have different focuses. As this supports an Echelon 2 Activity, Program
Analysts are expected to be able to contextualize information in terms of how
they support strategic and regional national security objectives, such as those
in Combatant Commander Theater Security Cooperation Plans or Department of
State regional initiatives. Additional, information needs to be presented to
different audiences, to include SES and Flag Officer level, and various DoD and
Department of State officials, to obtain buy-in and concurrence.

The Policy Application Program Analyst responsibilities will include, but are not
limited to:

• Support Department of the Navy (DoN) and Department
  of Defense (DoD) security cooperation, security assistance and foreign
  military sales assessments, staff organization, and administrative
  requirements.
  

• Able to work independently with limited direction and
  be self-motivated.
  

• Able to work with other contractor teammates and
  customers daily.
  

• Able to work closely with customers to ensure
  deliverables meet their expectations and arrive in a timely manner.
  

• Write clearly, concisely and with good grammar.
  
• Attend and actively participate in
  team meetings.

Technology Transfer Policy
Writing Analysts Specifically

* Review and provide guidance on Foreign Visits
and/or Export Licenses

* Provide Delegated Disclosure Authority to lower
echelons based on existing DoD and Navy Policy, by decomposing current National
Disclosure Policy (NDP), Technology Transfer Security Assistance Review
Board (TTSARB) decisions and Low Observable / Counter Low-Observable
(LO/CLO) decisions into guidance to programs and sites.

Keys to Success that We Are
Looking for in Policy Application Analysts

* Familiar with Structure of Navy

* Ability to "Paint the Picture": While all
Program Analysts problem solve, the ability to look at minor data points and
figure out connections as a real success driver. For instance, suppose a
request that is little more than an request for an officer to visit Base X. The
analyst would need to ask themselves, "What goes on at Base X?" Then, looking
at the various activities, ask themselves if that country has a connection to
those activities (e.g. has a FMS case for the type of training there, or a
co-development cooperative agreement for and IPT there.) Once they can confirm
the reason and associated security cooperation activity, they would then apply
guidance to the visit.

* Ability to take higher level guidance,
decompose it and apply it into specific guidance. Whether sending
instructions with specific limitations on a foreign visit, adding caveats to an
export licensing request or drafting a Delegated Disclosure Letter, you need
experience taking general rules and boundaries and creating tailored guidance
to the specific matter under consideration.

* Willingness
to work 5 days a week on-site at the Washington Navy Yard (WNY)
