Additional Job Summary -
The National Intelligence Manager for Cyber (NIM for Cyber) serves as a senior cyber advisor to the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), the principal advisor to the President on intelligence matters.
The NIM represents ODNI at the Assistant Secretary level in the NSC-driven national security policy process and supports ODNI's engagements at the Deputies and Principals level.
The NIM engages with IC cyber leaders to shape and assess the IC's cyber strategy, successes, needs, and challenges.
The NIM also drives the integration of cyber collection and analysis across 18 IC agencies and shapes the alignment of IC resources to the cyber mission through the Intelligence Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Evaluation System (IPPBE).
The NIM is supported by a high-impact, multi-disciplinary team that includes senior ODNI, IC, and military experts in intelligence, policy, and cyber threats.
The NIM also serves as a member of CTIIC's senior leadership team, determining the Center's priorities, missions, and international and private sector partnerships. In this capacity, the NIM collaborates with other ODNI elements, including other NIMs, the National Intelligence Officer for Cyber, the IC Chief Information Officer, and the National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) in shaping CTIIC's intelligence mission in coordination with the policy community.
The selected candidate will have a unique opportunity to shape how the IC cyber community is evolving to keep pace with the foreign cyber threat.
The NIM has the opportunity to shape integration within the IC; partnerships across the government, with allies, and the private sector; and how the IC embraces technology to collaborate at the speed and scale of the foreign threat. The selectee will exercise leadership at a strategic juncture.
Over the last decade, the cyber threat landscape has gradually evolved from one in which the primary threat was cyber espionage, usually involving theft of intellectual property, to one in which disruptive and destructive attacks against critical infrastructure are a real risk.
That doesn't mean the espionage threats have gone away, instead it means the landscape has become more complicated and more challenging from a defensive perspective.
The successful candidate will also shape how ODNI and the IC carry out their high-profile NSM-22 roles in advancing critical infrastructure resilience by providing cyber intelligence support to DHS, sector risk management agencies, and private sector owners and operators.
Toward this end, the candidate will engage in CTIIC's innovative initiatives aimed at strengthening the mechanisms for accessing external expertise to inform cyber policy and analysis. Examples include industry-analytic exchanges that bring together the IC and other government partners, critical infrastructure owners and operators, industry associations, original equipment manufacturers and cybersecurity experts.
Lead a professional staff, assess performance, oversee goal setting, and provide feedback on personal and professional development. Interact with managers to ensure compliance and collaboration with policies which aides in developing the organizational culture.
The NIM's major duties and responsibilities are as outlined in Intelligence Community Directive 900 (ICD-900), which is accessible at www.dni.gov. CTIIC's unclassified web site is located at www.dni.gov/index.php/ctiic-home.
