Overhead collection is only as good as the strategy behind it. As a GEOINT Source Strategies Analyst at the Expert level, you are the architect—translating complex intelligence needs into multi-source collection strategies that maximize coverage, minimize gaps, and keep pace with a collection environment that never stops evolving. Your decisions shape what gets tasked, when, and why.

The GEOINT Source Strategies Analyst applies deep expertise across the full tasking, collection, processing, exploitation, and dissemination (TCPED) pipeline to develop comprehensive multi‑intelligence collection strategies for complex and unusual intelligence problems. At the Expert level, you are an authority on both traditional and emerging overhead sensors, automated collection approaches, and the inferencing methodologies that extract meaning from temporal and spatial data.

You work across NSG and IC collection management structures, collaborate with data scientists and source providers, and guide customers through the intelligence needs development process from research phase through tasking.

Source-Derived Role Summary

The Discover and Collection Specialist collaborates with customers and source providers to develop comprehensive multi‑intelligence, multi‑source strategies to address complex or unusual intelligence problems. Position supports real‑time and activity‑based collection, automated collection strategies, and sense making of large multi‑source datasets in support of GEOINT collection management.

• Develop and refine multi‑source, multi‑intelligence collection strategies to address complex or time‑sensitive intelligence problems—balancing sensor availability, phenomenology constraints, and collection priorities.
• Support the research phase of Information Need development; advise customers and collection managers on how phenomenology impacts tasking decisions across traditional and non‑traditional GEOINT sensors.
• Manage large multi‑source datasets: sense‑make across feeds, assess model output confidence and reliability metrics, and translate findings into actionable collection recommendations.
• Develop automated collection strategies and work alongside data scientists to apply inferencing methodologies that extract insights from temporal and spatial datasets.
• Navigate NSG and IC collection management structures and collaborative tools to coordinate GEOINT collection, production, and visualization across geographically dispersed teams.
• Multi‑task across simultaneous day‑to‑day operational demands in a program management environment supporting several geographically separated locations.

Mission Impact

Collection strategy determines what intelligence gets collected — and what doesn’t. The strategies you build directly influence NGA’s ability to deliver timely, accurate GEOINT to customers across the IC and DOD. When the strategy is right, nothing important gets missed.
