As the lead strategist, you will be the architect of our organization's future, establishing and leading the comprehensive framework for all strategic planning.

This is a premier role for a strategist who wants to directly influence an organization's direction and represent its interests at the highest levels.

In this position, you will craft and align our authoritative Cyber Warfare policy, ensuring our guidance is synchronized with mission partners and national directives.

As our representative in key strategy and policy discussions, you will build critical relationships and advocate for our priorities across inter-agency working groups. This role is ideal for an experienced policy writer looking to own the entire lifecycle of strategy, from development and documentation to advocacy and execution.

1. Ability to develop, integrate, and operationalize strategic guidance, campaign plans, and enterprise objectives aligned to HHQ and national-level strategies, including establishment of measurable goals, milestones, and assessment frameworks.
2. Knowledge of policy formulation processes and governance structures, with the ability to draft, coordinate, adjudicate, and publish cyber warfare policy and authoritative guidance consistent with HHQ directives, mission partner agreements, and compliance requirements.
3. Skill in analyzing complex guidance (e.g., national security, DoD/DAF/USSF, and COCOM strategies), distilling implications, assessing risk, and producing senior-leader decision support products (briefings, executive summaries, courses of action).
4. Ability to represent the Delta with credibility across HHQ, interagency, joint, and mission partner forums; build consensus; negotiate outcomes; and influence strategy/policy decisions across organizational boundaries. Skill in designing and applying performance measures (KPIs, MOEs/MOPs), building assessment plans, and using data-driven approaches to monitor progress, identify gaps, and recommend corrective actions to achieve strategic ends.
5. Ability to communicate complex strategic and technical concepts clearly through executive-level writing and briefings, including preparation of strategy documents, policy memoranda, read-aheads, and staff packages for senior leader approval.
