  1. Surprising NGA has to accept applications for this. Couldn't they just pull over the top candidates as they're driving home from work this afternoon and bring them in for an interview?

  2. To clarify, this is an Associate Ombuds position for our St. Louis office. It is an organizational ombudsman role that adheres to the IOA code of ethics and standards of practice. The position is open to ALL SOURCES. You don't need a current, active clearance to apply. If selected, you will have to go through the security clearance process, which requires being a U.S. citizen.

    All those interested are highly encouraged to apply. As the hiring manager, you are welcome to email or call me directly (deyosm [at_sign] nga [dot] mil, 571-557-0898) if you have questions about the NGA Ombudsman role.
