DSA is seeking a highly qualified Business Intelligence Analyst with an active Top Secret clearance to join our team in Winchester, VA.

This is a unique opportunity to provide strategic IT support to the FBI to improve operation and efficiency of enterprise.

Ability to work on a classified program for the FBI that does not require a commute into the Washington DC area.

Winchester is an hour west of Fairfax, VA.

Based in Winchester, Virginia, the FBI's Information Management Division (IMD) not only oversees the records of the Bureau but also provides key services to law enforcement and to the American people.

IMD regularly responds to name check requests from approximately 50 authorized federal agencies to determine whether a specific individual has been the subject of or mentioned in any FBI investigation, and if so, what—if any—relevant information may be disseminated to the requesting agency.

The IMD responds to many Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act requests every year from the news media, citizens, and others around the world.

It also maintains a high-tech electronic reading room called the Vault, which contains nearly 7,000 FBI records and other media scanned from paper into digital copies so they can be read and searched from any computer, anywhere.

In addition, the IMD:

Ensures that accurate, reliable, and trustworthy records of all FBI activities, investigations, policies, and transactions are created, maintained, and disposed of in accordance with legal authorities, professional standards, and best business practices.

Ensures that the power of information technology is harnessed and exploited to create, manage, and dispose of records in the most effective and efficient ways, including conversion to another medium when appropriate.

Ensures that the American people are accurately and timely served in their quest for information about the activities of the government through the review and dissemination of FBI information response to requests made under the provisions of the Freedom of Information and Privacy Acts.

Ensures the national security of the United States is safeguarded by reviewing, analyzing, and disseminating appropriate information about the activities of people and groups documented in FBI records to the appropriate government agencies.

IMD has affirmed a strategic initiative to foster technology innovation in support of the IMD mission. The implementation of this initiative is the responsibility of the Technology Innovation Section (TIS).

The TIS mission is to deliver the best possible information management solutions to organize the FBI's information and make it appropriately accessible and useful.

TIS is transforming from a functional structure with separate development and support functions to a portfolio-based model to be more customer focused and manage systems from project inception through system retirement.

TIS follows the Agile and DevSecOps methodologies and is working to achieve a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) capability, with the goal to provide functional and secure systems coupled with outstanding customer service.
