The Policy & Capabilities (PC) Directorate ensures the IC is best postured for the threats and challenges of an uncertain future, through strategy, policy, and capabilities development. PC is comprised of the Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) and Policy Strategy and Accountability (PSA) Office.
ODNI's Policy and Capabilities (P&C) Directorate is focused on winning the geostrategic competition to secure America's future. P&C establishes the IC's strategic roadmap, develops requisite IC policies, and drives technology capabilities in alignment with national priorities. Within P&C, the Strategic Capabilities Office serves as the central integration point for addressing urgent security challenges through coordinated campaigns.
These multi-agency efforts catalyze capability development. SCO focuses on leveraging industry capabilities to achieve success. SCO also provides value -added oversight of IC acquisitions and leads strategic analysis requirement development, and independent cost analysis to optimize IC investment decisions and support the DNI's priorities.
The Spectrum, Space, & Sensors (S3) Campaign will drive community coordination to develop plans for sensors amidst the emergence of 6G and shifting landscape of available spectrum use. The campaign considers how to manage systems that are deployed and how to best support US efforts to "win the 6G race". SCO is seeking the right individual to lead its S3 Campaign.
This individual will understand and articulate the geopolitical and national security implications of 6G spectrum changes, wield the technical expertise and managerial acumen needed to drive and steer the IC's sensors enterprise and spectrum council, and embody the ethos required to ensure success of this no-fail mission.

Assist in representing ODNI positions, priorities, and/or perspectives to National policy makers, Congress, OMB and White House staff, and other government agencies. Assist in leading legislatively and policy mandated activities and in formulating the National Intelligence Program (NIP) budget.
