In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input.

You'll leverage operational, programmatic, or intelligence backgrounds to deliver nuanced analysis, actionable recommendations, and clear written or verbal briefings in a secure environment.

  • Draft concise, actionable written assessments and prepare high-level briefings for senior military and civilian leadership audiences.
  • Coordinate across Navy, DoD, Intelligence Community, and industry stakeholders to gather insights and ensure alignment with mission goals.
  • Interpret and communicate recent developments in naval capabilities and maritime security relevant to the customer's objectives.
  • Safeguard and handle classified materials (TS/SCI level) in accordance with project and facility protocols.
    • Preferred Qualifications
  • Minimum 10 years of experience in U.S. Navy, MARAD/DOT, or comparable maritime/defense roles; O-4/O-5, GS-13/14-equivalent, or proven subject-matter authority.
  • Active TS/SCI clearance strongly preferred; at minimum, Secret clearance held within the last 24 months and eligibility for TS/SCI reinstatement.
  • Demonstrated skill briefing and writing for executive or flag-level leadership within defense or government contexts.
  • Familiarity with Pentagon processes, OPNAV, NAVSEA, or PEO environments, and cross-stakeholder coordination.
  • Track record of analytical judgment in classified or high-stakes project environments.
  • Background in intelligence analysis or experience within the Intelligence Community considered a strong asset.
  • Master’s degree in a relevant field, such as national security, defense studies, or engineering, is desirable.
