Doctrine Analyst, Senior

As a defense mission professional, you ask questions others don’t. You understand the nuances of complex situations and apply deep expertise to help shape doctrine that guides the Joint Force. You use your skills to think bigger and push further, solving complex problems and advising senior leaders on issues that directly affect force development, readiness, and warfighting effectiveness. We’re looking for an experienced expert like you to help create authoritative solutions for missions that keep our nation safe.

You know that high‑quality doctrine requires more than structured text, it demands sophisticated analysis, coordinated staffing, disciplined project management, and the ability to oversee complex, long‑range efforts that span multiple commands, organizations, and communities. You combine analytic rigor, doctrinal expertise, and advanced communication skills to guide and elevate products that influence warfighters, senior leaders, and enterprise decision‑making.

As a Defense Mission Professional at Booz Allen, you will support the Joint Staff by leading doctrine analysis, coordinating and conducting comprehensive reviews, overseeing program‑level workflows, supporting terminology, and steering working groups that sustain chairman’s programs across doctrine, education, and training. Your expertise will help ensure timely, accurate, and policy‑aligned doctrinal products while contributing to modernization initiatives, emerging concepts, and interoperability across the Joint Force.
