Description: NAVAIR is seeking a highly capable Foreign Disclosure / Policy Analyst to support a key cooperative program with Australia. This role will focus on the development, interpretation, and implementation of policies governing the release of classified and controlled unclassified information to Australian partners, with the flexibility to address requests involving other countries as they arise. This position requires an intellectually curious, proactive professional who can collaborate with both technical and policy stakeholders, navigate complex regulatory frameworks, and translate ambiguity into clear, actionable guidance for the U.S.-Australia partnership.

Responsibilities:

• Analyze, interpret, and apply U.S. Government and DoD foreign disclosure policies, including the National Disclosure Policy (NDP) and other service- and DoW-level disclosure policies, with a primary focus on the U.S.-Australia cooperative program.
• Review and adjudicate requests for disclosure of classified and controlled information, primarily for the Australian government and program partners.
• Partner closely with technical subject matter experts (SMEs), engineers, and program offices within the cooperative program to interpret how policy applies to complex shared systems, technologies, and program-specific scenarios.
• Attend program meetings with a proactive lens to anticipate and identify information required by Australian partners, taking responsibility for the serializing, logging, marking, and delivery of data to the partner.
• Draft, refine, and contribute to new or evolving policy guidance to ensure alignment with the operational realities and mission needs of the bilateral program.
• Develop, standardize, and improve processes to increase consistency, efficiency, and compliance in foreign disclosure determinations and information-sharing needs for the program.
