Paramilitary Operations Officers (PMOO) and Specialized Skills Officers (SSO) are distinct occupations in the DO, but together they play a unique role and provide unique capabilities in support of conventional and unconventional operations overseas.</p> <p>Most DO officers, including PMOOs and SSOs, are hired at an entry level and train as they are expected to work--as one team. All DO officers begin their careers spending one to two years learning the foundations of clandestine operational tradecraft via classroom training, practical exercise, and on-the-job experience. PMOOs and SSOs must successfully complete foundational training as a DO Operations Officer.</p> <p>In addition, PMOOs are required to successfully complete specialized training to prepare them for service in hazardous and austere environments overseas. SSOs transition into a career focused on operating and maintaining infrastructure necessary to facilitate and support missions conducted under CIA-unique authorities. SSOs serve primarily at CIA Headquarters, but have frequent opportunities for temporary duty travel and/or assignments abroad.</p> <hr class="jobln"><p><b>Minimum requirements</b> include:</p> <ul><li>US citizenship at the time of application (dual national US citizens are eligible)</li> <li>A four-year college/university degree from an accredited institution (applicants within one year of earning a four-year degree will be considered)</li> <li>Ability to work both autonomously and as part of a team</li> <li>Flexibility to adapt to changing work and training requirements</li> <li>Excellent verbal and written communication skills</li> <li>Ability to make decisions to meet existing conditions and mission requirements rather than relying on preset assumptions and goals</li> </ul><p>Competitive <b>Paramilitary Operations Officer</b> applicants have:</p> <ul><li>Military special operations or combat arms experience (ground, air or maritime)</li> <li>Served in combat leadership positions</li> <li>Willingness to serve in hazardous and austere environments overseas (previous foreign travel and foreign language is valued, but not required)</li> </ul><p>Competitive <b>Specialized Skills Officer</b> applicants have expertise or experience in:</p> <ul><li>Social communications, media, marketing, technology development, business, finance or legal</li> <li>Military aviation and military/merchant maritime industries, military psychological operations, and/or information operations</li> <li>Counterintelligence</li> </ul><p><b>Ready to Apply?</b></p> <p>The hiring process for DO positions can take 12 months or longer to complete.
