As a Communication Specialist, you will be responsible for translating complex technical and organizational changes into accessible, engaging content that drives awareness, understanding, and action across diverse audiences. From executive briefings to frontline awareness materials, you will create multi-channel communications—including emails, newsletters, videos, knowledge articles, and digital content—that keep stakeholders informed, engaged, and prepared for change. Working closely with engagement and adoption strategists, you will help ensure that transformation messaging is consistent, timely, and aligned with mission priorities.

Join us to make a meaningful impact on a transformational program of national importance.

* Support communication pathways between the CIO, division chiefs, and mission stakeholders through clear, professional, and strategic messaging
* Develop talking points, scripts, and supporting materials for town halls, leadership sessions, and stakeholder meetings
* Incorporate feedback from listening sessions, surveys, and stakeholder touchpoints to continuously improve messaging clarity and effectiveness
* Adjust communication approaches based on engagement metrics (reach, comprehension, sentiment) and feedback analysis
* Collaborate with engagement strategists to identify communication gaps and refine content to maximize impact
* Ensure all communications adhere to USSS and CACI branding standards, tone, and style guidelines
* Maintain high standards for grammar, accuracy, clarity, and professionalism across all deliverables
