Theater Posture Planner

The Opportunity:

As an expert in defense missions, your unique background inspires you to think bigger, push further, and ask questions that others don’t. We need your extensive knowledge and advisory skills to solve our clients’ most complex problems—and find solutions that keep our nation safe.

As a Theater Posture Planner, you’ll bring your specialized regional and subject matter expertise to work alongside thought leaders in the Space Force on the strategic planning and integration of theater space posture and force design. You’ll use your skills and expertise to develop and coordinate integrated plans to advance theater posture in the Indo‑Pacific region.

Work with us to collaborate with a host of stakeholders to monitor emerging capabilities as they reach maturity for employment, analyze requirements for operational footprints, and assist in the architecture of resilient, distributed networks of terrestrial space capabilities. Additionally, you will draft data‑driven input and recommendations for theater plans, service‑level directives, and investment strategies to define the forces, footprint, and agreements required for mission success. By evaluating regional threats and basing requirements, you will facilitate the synchronization of force laydown and infrastructure with Joint and multinational partners in the Indo‑Pacific region.
