Leidos Is Hiring: Mid-Level Targeting Analyst - Shape Strategy, Influence Outcomes

Are you ready to make a global impact from behind the scenes? Leidos is looking for a Mid-Level Targeting Analyst to join a critical mission at the heart of defense intelligence-supporting a Combatant Command (CCMD).

What You’ll Do

In this pivotal role, you'll:

• Lead all-source targeting analysis to support both lethal and non-lethal operations.
• Translate intelligence into real-world action-developing, refining, and managing target data that informs senior decision-makers.
• Conduct Collateral Damage Estimation (CDE) and deliver actionable target graphics.
• Shape targeting policies by editing and advising on DoD procedures.
• Champion target system analysis (TSA) and brief leadership across military decision-making boards.
• Train others, influence operations, and stay on the cutting edge of target development and prioritization.

What You Bring

• Top Secret / SCI clearance with polygraph eligibility.
• U.S. Citizenship (Required)
• Bachelor’s degree + 8 years of experience, including recent exposure to targeting functions. Additional years of experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
• Deep knowledge of DoD, CJCS targeting frameworks, and practical CDE experience.
• Bonus points if you've supported CCMD missions directly-your insights matter here.

This is more than a role-it’s a chance to steer intelligence strategy and see your expertise ripple across national defense. Apply today and be the force behind the mission.

At Leidos, we don’t want someone who "fits the mold"-we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, “what’s next?” before the dust settles on “what’s now.”

If you’re already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2... good. You’ll fit right in.
