Job description
Joint Planner
Overall capability requirement:
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) are separate commands. Both leverage the commander's singular vision and guidance; develop plans to meet challenges in the same strategic and operational environments; build complementary mission approaches; and share a common goal of defense of the United States and Canada.
Our competitors have analyzed our ability to operate overseas and have invested in capabilities such as ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, hypersonic weapons, small unmanned aircraft systems, artificial intelligence, cyber capabilities, and delivery platforms to offset our strengths while exploiting our perceived weaknesses. These advancing capabilities embolden competitors and adversaries to challenge us at home, looking to threaten our people, our critical infrastructure and our power projection capabilities.
These challenges have generated a strong demand for not only changes in operations, but changes in the corresponding education and training programs supporting force employment, development, and design. You will join a team that performs analysis, assessment and integration in support of the Joint Training, Exercises, and Wargaming Directorate (N&NC/J7). We, collectively, provide the commands’ analytical methodology, to include Modeling & Simulation (M&S), necessary to develop and improve requirements-based training and readiness programs and ensure integration with the global DoD Joint Training community, interagency, and international partners. Our team provides the analytical capability to enhance command resources and readiness, augment (N&NC) training and exercise programs with correlated data resulting from in-depth analyses of real-world events, and inform future Joint Training Plans. We will focus on assessing the results and effects of government deployed training programs, events, and operations on mission readiness. Our team informs the commands’ return on investment data and supports targeted changes and enhancements to N&NC’s Training, Exercises, and Wargaming Programs.
Base Qualifications:
- Bachelor's Degree is required and a Master's in Military Art and Science (MMAS) is highly desired
- Minimum of 5 years’ proven experience with joint planning experience in a Combat Support Agency, Combatant Command, or Joint Staff level
- Must be thoroughly familiar with joint doctrine to include Joint Publication (JP) 3-0 and JP 5-0, and the individual needs to have practical experience in the application of the elements of operational art / operations design in joint planning. In addition, the individual must have demonstrated experience in the application of wargames as part of the formal 7-steps of the Joint Planning Process
- English speaking, reading, writing and public presentation skills
- Proficient with Microsoft Office suite of software products
Additional Desired Skills
- Demonstrated ability to use Microsoft PowerBI and create BI dashboards
- Experience creating BI predictive models
- Utilize database and web application technologies to design, develop, and evaluate innovative business intelligence tools and automated reports, predominately with Microsoft BI and Sharepoint
- Proficiency in statistical analysis, quantitative analytics, forecasting/predictive analytics, multivariate testing, and optimization algorithms

An individual wolf is a smart, strong, resilient animal, but the true strength of wolves is their ability to work together as a wolfpack. Kipling said it best in The Law of the Jungle.
