Major Duties and Responsibilities:
Complementing but not duplicating work undertaken by Intelligence Community (IC) elements and other Federal departments and agencies, the ODNI's Science and Technology Engagement Program (STEP) will advance the mission of the IC by harnessing existing and robust technological and innovative ecosystems and the talent of like-minded partners around the United States to better identify, coordinate, and integrate solutions to the IC's science and technology (S&T) challenges, derived primarily from the National Intelligence Managers' Unifying Intelligence Strategies. This effort will help support the mission requirements of ODNI's Federal partners, afford regional management of an expanding set of contracts, and advance a key goal of ensuring that the ODNI has the skills and knowledge needed to meet current and future S&T mission requirements of the ODNI and the IC. This assignment is a Two (2) + One (1) PCS to San Francisco, CA.
Represent the Assistant Director of National Intelligence for Science & Technology (ADNI for S&T) to regional IC/DoD and other federal, state, and local government partners with an S&T-focused mission, and leverage partner resources and expertise to advance program goals and help support partners' mission requirements, as appropriate.
Identify and evaluate innovative technologies, scientific research, and concepts that may solve the IC S&T Needs captured in the FY2022-2026 ODNI S&T Investment Landscape; prepare written evaluations, as needed, focusing on technical feasibility, practicality of application to mission, and technical maturity.
Identify, champion, and catalyze partnership and investment opportunities to advance IC capabilities and solve IC S&T Needs by leveraging a whole-of-nation approach to innovation.
Represent the ADNI for Science & Technology by serving as a regional liaison partner to the Defense Innovation Unit.
Accelerate technology acquisition and adoption through established and new USG partnerships.
Work with State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial entities; Small Disadvantaged Businesses (8a); minority serving institutions; and underserved communities to support the local tech ecosystem and identify opportunities for S&T investment in areas where mission requirements can be met.
Represent the ADNI for Science & Technology at regional meetings, conferences, and other public forums to foster and cultivate partnership opportunities with other IC components, the private sector, and academia.
Prepare expert findings, reports, briefing papers, and other communication vehicles; serve as a principal advisor on the policies and procedures governing S&T intelligence information.
Conceive, cultivate, develop, and sustain professional networks across the IC and in operational and analytic communities.
Seek opportunities with regional organizations to build on the IC's talent acquisition and management strategy to establish a pipeline for recruitment of a premier IC workforce, focusing on STEM, and emphasizing the key values of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Serve as point of contact for regional University Affiliated Research Centers (UARC) and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDC) with respect to their ongoing efforts in support of ODNI and IC initiatives.
Lead the development and presentation of findings, conclusions, options, and recommendations to ODNI and IC senior management.
Expose IC personnel to the practices and culture of the private sector, and vice versa, by expanding upon the IC's Public Private Talent Exchange program.
