Company Overview 
The National Security Agency (NSA) is a world leader in the protection and exploitation of intelligence. We gather and analyze foreign signals intelligence to produce vital information for U.S. policymakers and warfighters. And we protect American intelligence from the ever-listening ears of our adversaries. At the Nation’s top cryptologic organization, you can work with the best and the brightest, using your intelligence to solve some of the Nation’s most difficult challenges.
Job Description 

As an entry-level Business Manager in the Business Manager Development Program (BMDP), you will be assigned to work on a variety of teams across the breadth of the NSA.  As an intern in this program, you will be required to complete four, nine-month rotational assignments in selected areas within the NSA that are chosen specifically to maximize your exposure to all functional components.  You will be a part of a team that will handle projects that will range in size, complexity, and subject matter and will encompass all that is involved in providing new and improved intelligence capabilities and products to our customers. 

You will be responsible for the formulation and coordination of program/budget estimates; development of acquisition strategies and procurement planning schedules; staffing procurement requests through approval and certification cycles and myriad other associated activities.  You will gain invaluable experience under the supervision of this Agency's most experienced Business Managers as well as being exposed to a truly representational cross-section of the National Security Agency during one of the most dynamic times in its history.

 
Job Requirements  

To qualify for this program, you should possess a Bachelor's degree in a Business related field (Finance, Economics, etc.) with a minimum 3.0 GPA preferred.

Applicants should have no more than two (2) years of Business Management work experience.

Applicants who are accepted into the program will agree to commit three (3) years to the Business Manager Development Program (BMDP).  During this three-year commitment, each participant will:

  • Receive training in federal acquisition and finance management to attain level-2 certification in accordance with the criteria set forth in the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA) for Business, Cost Estimating, & Financial Management
  • Take 6 graduate-level courses toward a Master's degree in a Business field
  • Become a Certified Defense Financial Manager (CDFM) through additional Department of Defense training.
  • Complete additional NSA/CSS specific training as specified

Upon completion of the initial three-year rotational period, graduates will be required to remain at NSA/CSS in a business management position for an amount of time equal to their internship.  Failure to complete this post-internship work requirement will create a liability for the participant to repay the cost of training and certifications received while in the program.
