Central Intelligence Agency careers

Collect foreign intelligence, produce objective analysis, and conduct covert action as directed by the president: that's how the CIA defines its own job, and it has held it since the agency's establishment in 1947. Its work goes to the president, the National Security Council, and other policymakers, organized through multidisciplinary Mission Centers backed by five directorates. An institution built that way hires well beyond operations officers, because analysis, technology, and administration all have to happen somewhere inside it.
