Remote Psyop information

What is a Remote Psyop?

A Remote Psyop, or Psychological Operations specialist working remotely, is a professional who develops and implements strategies to influence the attitudes and behaviors of target audiences using digital tools and communication channels. These specialists typically work for military, government, or security organizations and may create campaigns, messaging, or online content designed to achieve specific psychological effects. Remote Psyops leverage social media, websites, and other online platforms to reach their objectives from a location outside of traditional command centers. Their work can involve research, planning, and the execution of information campaigns. The role requires strong communication skills, cultural awareness, and proficiency with digital technology.

Common Search & ComparisonYesNo

Remote Psyop roles focus on psychological operations within government or defense sectors, often requiring security clearances and specialized training. Remote Social Media Specialists work in marketing and communications, managing online brand presence. While both roles involve understanding human behavior, their industries, credentials, and work environments differ significantly.

What are some common challenges faced by remote Psychological Operations (Psyop) specialists, and how can they be addressed?

Remote Psyop specialists often face challenges related to clear communication, cultural sensitivity, and the lack of immediate feedback from target audiences. Working remotely can make it more difficult to gauge the impact of psychological messaging and to collaborate closely with team members from different units or time zones. To address these challenges, it’s important to leverage secure digital collaboration tools, maintain regular briefings with the team, and invest time in understanding the cultural and psychological nuances of target groups. Continuous training and feedback loops can also help ensure that messaging remains effective and aligned with mission objectives.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Psychological Operations (PSYOP) Specialist, and why are they important?

To excel as a Remote PSYOP Specialist, you generally need a background in psychology, communications, or international relations, often supported by military training or relevant certifications. Familiarity with digital communication platforms, data analysis tools, and psychological assessment software is crucial. Strong critical thinking, cultural awareness, and persuasive communication are standout soft skills for this role. These abilities are vital for effectively influencing target audiences and supporting mission objectives in complex, remote environments.

Motive Special Operations Exercise Lead-STALKHM

Motive International, LLC

Washington, DC • On-site, Remote

Part-time

Posted 7 days ago

Job description

Vacancy Announcement

 Motive Special Operations Exercise Lead-STALKHM

  • Type: Consultant (part time, project-based up to 20 hrs/week to start)
  • Format: Remote, with approx 8-10 days of travel per exercise
  • Deadline to Apply: No later than 20 June 2025 (rolling)
  • Start Date: NLT 3 Aug
  • Eligibility: U.S. citizenship required

We're seeking to fill this role quickly. Candidates will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Please apply early.

  About Us:

Motive International (www.motiveinternational.com) is not like most Federal contractors. We are a social enterprise with a hybrid for-profit/not-for-profit business model focused entirely on a mission to mitigate global conflict and instability. We implement programs and deliver innovative, technology-enabled solutions to public and private sector clients and conduct pro-bono impact initiatives all around the world that help make societies more peaceful and prosperous. Our small team is comprised of passionate, world-leading experts and motivated professionals who believe deeply in our mission and values. We are a certified 8(a) and Economically Disadvantaged Woman Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) based in Washington, DC with a reputation for excellence, integrity, and fearlessly pursuing our mission.

About the Position:

Motive International supports the 95th Civil Affairs Brigade — a US Army Special Operations unit — in running STALKHM, their signature company-level pre-deployment evaluation. STALKHM runs three times a year, and we're hiring a Motive Exercise Lead beginning with the upcoming September 2026 event.
While the current engagement covers September only, we're looking for someone we can work with on a recurring or ongoing basis (the next STALKHM takes place February 2027).
At the center of our capability is Chronicle — our proprietary scenario-management and dynamic-scripting platform, purpose-built for Civil Affairs training. Chronicle creates a realistic, dynamic human-domain and information environment: characters, communications, and injects that evolve as the exercise unfolds.
You'd serve as Exercise Controller (EXCON) for Motive during the events — driving Chronicle, coordinating with role players and command elements, and adjudicating in-scenario as needed.
Between events, you'd lead our remote engagement: running the Motive support team, attending planning meetings, managing the exercise calendar, and orchestrating scenario development and loading the scenario into Chronicle. We are projecting an average of 20 hours a week level of effort for the six weeks leading up to the event and the week after it ends for close-out tasks. With full time onsite between 11-18 September at Fort Bragg, NC.

The shape
  • Episodic engagement — STALKHM exercises occur 3 times per year
  • Remote-based; with travel required
  • Travel: ~8 days on-site for the September event
  • Reports to Becs Rogers, Program Manager (in cc)
  • Contract scope: ~3 Aug (remote, estimated 20 hrs/wk); 11–18 September (onsite delivery, estimated 8-10 hour days); 19-25 Sept (remote, estimated 20 hours for close out duties)

STALKHM runs three times a year — each is expected to have a remote planning period of approximately 6-10 weeks and a 1-2 week post-delivery close-out.

Must-have
  • Experience developing or leading Army training or exercises
  • Proven Army staff track record
  • MS Office and Teams fluency, and strong willingness to learn and master new software
  • Secret-eligible
Nice-to-have
  • Retired E-7 or O-4 or above, with battle-staff time
  • Civil Affairs or PSYOP background
  • Trusted reputation in the SOF community

Timeline is tight — we expect a start date of 3 August. If this opportunity might be for you, please hit, reply and send a short Statement of Interest (see below) ASAP but no later than Friday July 17.

In your Statement of Interest, please include:

  • Confirmation you're available to start work in early August
  • Confirmation you can support the September event (11–18 Sept, STARTEX 13 Sept)
  • Your interest and flexibility in supporting future STALKHM events — this contract is for September only, but we're looking for someone we can bring back
  • Your prior experience planning, leading, or running EXCON for training, validation, or certification exercises
  • Your willingness and ability to manage and lead our remote engagement and team across events
  • Anything else you think we should know about how this role would support or align with your other professional interests or endeavors
