Theater Network Operations Planner

Theater Network Operations Planner

The Opportunity:

When a theater’s network is critical to mission success, simply reacting to issues is not enough—we need a coordinated approach to keep it defended, available, and resilient. That’s why we need a network and cyber operations specialist who can help U.S. European Command (EUCOM) maintain situational awareness of the Department of War Information Network (DOWIN) and understand how changes to the network affect operational missions.

As a Theater Network Operations Planner on our team, you’ll support EUCOM Theater Network Operations by assessing network posture, coordinating operational actions, and helping leaders understand risks and mission impacts across the EUCOM area of responsibility. You’ll coordinate with the Department of War Cyber Defense Command (DCDC), U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM), Service Components, and theater network operations centers to maintain a shared understanding of network status and defense activities.

You’ll manage Cyber Tasking Orders and Authorized Service Interruptions, analyze network changes and their operational impacts, and support Defensive Cyber Operations response and crisis action planning. You’ll use artificial intelligence-enabled capabilities, including Maven Smart System, to analyze command, control, communications, and computers (C4) posture and translate complex technical information into clear assessments for senior military leaders, including General and Flag Officers. You’ll also contribute to the development of DOWIN doctrine and tactics, techniques, and procedures as the theater advances toward an increasingly data- and AI-enabled network posture.

Work with us to help keep EUCOM connected, protected, and ready.
