Throughout this process, Targeting Officers must be able to identify gaps in information and take proactive steps to address those gaps. Key skills for success include the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment, often under high stress. Targeting Officers must be able to think critically and communicate highly complex information accurately, clearly, and in the proper context of a larger effort. Candidates should be comfortable and familiar with drafting and disseminating written RFIs.
