    • Evaluate policy and system effectiveness, providing recommendations for improvements or corrective actions.
    • Stakeholder Engagement & Strategy:
      • Develop and implement customer experience strategies, including stakeholder communication plans and feedback collection frameworks.
      • Liaise with the Department of Justice (DOJ), FBI Headquarters, and field office stakeholders to align technical capabilities with policy requirements.
      • Prepare and deliver executive-level briefings and technical reports to explain program status, requirements, and resourcing impacts.
      • Technical Support & Integration:
        • Provide expert guidance and troubleshooting for NSB’s Technical Bridge applications (FISAMS, NSLs, NDRRs) via remote access or in-person support.
        • Develop best practices for NSB information technology and data integration efforts to ensure operational continuity.

  • Total Experience: 15+ years of experience working in U.S. National Security, intelligence, defense, or law enforcement communities.
  • System Expertise: 10+ years of experience using U.S. National Security systems.
  • Mission Knowledge: 8+ years of experience with U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) mission sets, FISA policy, and case management.
  • Project Leadership: 8+ years of experience leading, planning, and executing special projects of varying scope and complexity.
