Duties
Help
As a Case Officer for the CIA, you will focus on clandestinely spotting, assessing, developing, recruiting, and handling non-U.S. citizens with access to foreign intelligence vital to U.S. foreign policy and national security decision-makers. You will be expected to build relationships based on rapport and trust using sound judgment, integrity, and the ability to assess character and motivation.
Case Officers spend most of their careers serving in multi-year assignments in a variety of overseas locations. As such, all Case Officers must be able to be medically cleared for world wide deployment. All Case Officers address a highly diverse and dynamic set of intelligence requirements on country- and region-specific issues, as well as transnational issues such as counterterrorism, counter proliferation, and cyber.
All DO officers are hired at an entry level and train as they are expected to work - as one team. DO officers are hired into one of two programs: the Clandestine Service Trainee (CST) program or the Professional Trainee (PT) program. A CST has three or more years of professional experience, while a PT has less than three years of professional experience. DO officers begin their careers learning the foundations of operations via classroom training, practical exercises, and on-the-job experience gained through a series of interim assignments. Based on the program into which each applicant is hired, the number of interim assignments will vary.
As part of the program, some DO officers will be expected to:
Operate a motor vehicle without second-party assistance in daytime and nighttime conditions;
Traverse uneven terrain, to include climbing and descending staircases, over fixed minimum distances and in varying weather conditions;
Work non-traditional or erratic schedules;
Make reasoned decisions under time constraints.
This position requires a 5-year Contract Term Agreement.
