Thinking of Changing Careers? Think CIA.
Working at the CIA can be a very exciting and rewarding career. Our
employees are part of a great mission that’s larger than all of us.
The CIA is the premier agency responsible for providing global intelligence
on the ever-changing political, social, economic, technological, and military
environment. And the jobs available at CIA are as diverse as the people who
work here.
We’re always looking for enthusiastic people with unquestioned integrity,
strong interpersonal skills, excellent written and oral communication ability,
and the desire to be a part of a mission that helps protect and secure our
family, friends, and country.
Analysts
It's been said that the most important thing CIA analysts know — even with
all of their top secret information — is that their work has a profound impact.
The analysts who work in the Directorate
of Intelligence (DI) are some of the brightest people in the
country, but what truly makes their contributions outstanding is the integrity
and objectivity they bring to it. Members of the DI help provide timely,
accurate, and objective all-source intelligence analysis on the full range of
national security and foreign policy issues to the President, Cabinet, and
senior policymakers in the US government.
They do this not to gain public accolades or recognition, but because the
country and the President need experts who will tell it like it is. From the
Cold War to the war on terrorism, the energy and commitment of the DI officer
has been critical to our nation's security.
Clandestine
Service Officers
The CIA's National Clandestine Service (NCS) is the front-line source of clandestine
information on critical international developments, from terrorism and weapons
of mass destruction to military and political issues. The mission often
requires clandestine service officers to live and work overseas, making a true
commitment to the Agency. This is more than just a job – it's a way of life
that challenges the deepest resources of personal intelligence, self-reliance,
and responsibility.
NCS officers are individuals with varied backgrounds
and life experiences, professional and educational histories, language
capabilities, and other elements that allow us meet our mission critical
objectives.
Scientists
& Engineers
The CIA is defining the leading edge of science, engineering, and
technology. Now, more than ever, it is essential for us to stay ahead of
fast-paced global technology developments in order to fulfill the Agency's
foreign intelligence mission. The men and women in the Directorate
of Science & Technology (DS&T) are in the unique position of
leading an industry populated primarily with public-sector companies.
Maintaining our leadership across a broad range of scientific and technical
disciplines requires us not only to apply existing science and technology, but
to develop and implement breakthrough technologies that may never see the
commercial marketplace.
Support
Service Professionals
The CIA employs a wide variety of highly talented professionals to meet its mission.
As a global organization, we need employees with skills in everything from
finance to logistics, linguistics to architecture, and law to cartography. In
fact, there are more than 50 different career disciplines in the Support
Services function that contribute to the success of every part of
the Agency.
Our dedicated professionals – who serve at home and abroad – play a vital role in the national security of our country every day.
