Job Description

Description

Leidos, a leading government contractor, is excited to announce our recent award of a significant Intelligence Program in Northern Virginia, known as Beacon .

This long-term program offers exceptional opportunities for skilled and dedicated professionals to continue making a critical impact on national security.

At Leidos, your most important work is ahead! You will enjoy great benefits such as paid time off (PTO), 401K, discounted stock purchase plans, career growth, parental paid leave and more! You'll be supported by some of the most respected leaders in the industry - leaders who are deeply committed to empowering their teams, supporting the customers’ missions, and valuing the work they do every day.

We are actively seeking Desk Officers at all levels (1 to 20+ years of experience) with a current TS/SCI w/Polygraph to join our high-performing team. Candidates will support operational elements by providing research and analysis to support the customer’s mission. Officers will utilize multiple layers of dynamic research, report writing, and briefing. Work occurs at client sites in Northern Virginia.

Responsibilities:

  • Manage a full range of operational and support activities

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for overseas offices

  • Provide operational guidance for ongoing cases

  • Propose recommendations for possible operational scenarios

  • Coordinate legal and policy issues affecting cases and overseas offices

  • Provide in-depth research on existing cases, and intelligence assessments using a variety of sources

  • Provide briefings to senior decision-makers

Basic Qualifications:

  • All positions require possession of a current/active TS/SCI with Polygraph. Candidates who do not possess this clearance will be disqualified.

  • Typically requires a BA degree and 12 – 15 years of prior relevant experience or Masters with 10 – 13 years of prior relevant experience. Additional experience may be substituted in lieu of a degree.

  • Demonstrated ability to research and analyze

  • Demonstrated ability to organize and prioritize effectively

  • Demonstrated ability to problem-solve

  • Demonstrated ability to work on several tasks concurrently

  • Strong analytic writing and editing skills

  • Demonstrated ability to work in team environment successfully

  • Demonstrated success in working in a high-paced, dynamic environment

  • Experience collaborating and coordinating with multiple offices and agencies

  • Experience supporting senior decision makers

  • Experience related to intelligence research and analysis work

At Leidos, we don’t want someone who "fits the mold"—we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, “what’s next?” before the dust settles on “what’s now.”

If you’re already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2… good. You’ll fit right in.

Original Posting:

October 24, 2025

For U.S. Positions: While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.

Pay Range:

Pay Range $112,450.00 - $203,275.00

The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline only and not a guarantee of compensation or salary. Additional factors considered in extending an offer include (but are not limited to) responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity, alignment with market data, applicable bargaining agreement (if any), or other law.
