Description:

Performing a critical and dynamic function within the National Clandestine
Service (NCS), the Language Officer applies advanced foreign language
skills, experience, and expertise to provide high-quality translation,
interpretation, and language-related support for a variety of NCS
clandestine operations. In addition to expert language skills, Language
Officers provide in-depth cultural insight-an important dimension of the
job. Language Officers also work closely with officers in other NCS
disciplines, particularly field collectors, to support the overall mission
of intelligence acquisition. As with other NCS professions, foreign travel
opportunities and certain specialized training are also integral elements
of the job. NCS is seeking candidates fluent in the following languages:
Arabic, Chinese, Dari, Korean, Pashto, Persian/Farsi, Russian and Somali.

In addition to a salary range of $52,146 - $95,785, new employees who
already possess excellent language skills may be eligible for a significant
hiring bonus and language use payments. For more information on our
language incentive programs, please refer to Language Opportunities page.

Minimum requirements include a bachelor's degree, native or near-native
fluency in a foreign language (Arabic, Chinese, Dari, Korean, Pashto,
Persian/Farsi, Russian and Somali), and a strong interest in international
affairs. Candidates must possess sound English language writing and oral
skills and good interpersonal and communications skills. As with all NCS
professional specializations, the responsibilities of a Language Officer
require absolute personal and professional dedication to mission.

When applying to a National Clandestine Service position, attach to the
online application the following:
- A one page cover letter describing why you are interested in an NCS
career and what characteristics and experiences distinguish you from other
applicants
- College transcript(s)
- All applicants must successfully complete a language test, a thorough
medical and psychological evaluation, a polygraph interview and an
extensive background investigation. U.S. citizenship is a requirement.

To be considered suitable for Agency employment, applicants must generally
not have used illegal drugs within the last twelve months. The issue of
illegal drug use prior to twelve months ago is carefully evaluated during
the medical and security processing.

Important Notice: Knowledge by non-Agency personnel of your association
with the Central Intelligence Agency or the Intelligence Community may
limit your ability to perform or preclude you from certain assignments. NCS
applicants should therefore endeavor to protect the fact that they have
applied and/or are thinking of applying to the NCS. We urge your discretion
throughout the entire hiring process to ensure maximum flexibility for your
potential NCS career. Further guidance will be provided as competitive
applicants move through the hiring steps.

An equal opportunity employer and a drug-free workforce.
