Watch Manager Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Responsibilities

Adversary threats don't follow business hours - and neither does this role. Peraton is looking for a Senior All-Source Analyst to support the USCYBERCOM J2 Intelligence Watch at Fort Meade, MD, providing continuous, mission-essential intelligence coverage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

You'll sit at the center of USCYBERCOM's intelligence operations, managing daily reporting against Priority Intelligence Requirements, monitoring adversary threats in real time, and supporting the Defense Warning Program across every classification network the command operates on. During surge, you may step up as All-Source Watch Manager or Intel Watch Officer. If you thrive in a high-tempo, always-on environment where your vigilance directly protects the DoDIN, this is the role for you.

• Maintain the 24x7x365 Intelligence Watch position supporting J2/Joint Intelligence Operations Center (JIOC)
• Assist the JOC Intelligence Watch Officer in understanding, managing, and mitigating incidents on the DoDIN
• Manage and disseminate daily single-source reporting aligned to USCYBERCOM Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIRs)

• Develop, manage, and update threat indicators and levels for specified cyber threat entities
• Monitor daily traffic, databases, and tools for indicators and new threat trends; report when indicators or threat levels change
• Act as All-Source Watch Manager to assist the JOC Intelligence Watch Officer during surge operations
• Adhere to IC analytic tradecraft standards: ICD 203, 206, 208, 209, 501, and 710
• Author and maintain Operating Instructions (OIs) for Command-wide programs and initiatives
