This leadership position is central to driving DAF's global space engagement initiatives and shaping strategic international cooperation on space policy and programs. Further, the Director of Space International Affairs will:

  1. Assist in building the DAF Space Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Program Objective Memorandum and represent the Secretary of the Air Force's International Affairs (SAF/IA) division at Space Force boards.

Requirements: Conditions of Employment Qualifications eligibility will be based upon a clear showing the applicant has training, education, and experience of the scope and quality sufficient to effectively carry out the duties of the position. Candidates must exemplify the corporate perspective, leadership vision, broad experience, and character needed in the SES corps not only to satisfy the immediate vacancy but future vacancies which will occur in a variety of organizations, functions, and locations.

MANDATORY TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS (TQs): (NTE 2 pages - PDF format) A supplemental statement must be submitted separately addressing each TQ. TQs must provide specific examples that address relevant experience and accomplishments. Applicants should focus on recent experience, education, and training, as some Recruitment Panel and Executive Resources Board members may consider experience that's over 10 years old to be outdated.

  1. Demonstrated executive experience leading and guiding multidisciplinary teams with in-depth knowledge of United States Space Force (USSF) operations, strategic objectives, and associated international activities.
  2. Demonstrated experience in coordinating Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and engaging with allied and partner nations.
  3. Demonstrated executive experience in the Security Cooperation enterprise, leading workforce management and talent development initiatives to enhance operational effectiveness.
  4. Demonstrate expert knowledge in designing and implementing strategies that achieve the Department of the Air Force's long-range objectives in international programs.

In addition, DoD requires an Enterprise Perspective. The individual must possess a broad point of view and an awareness and understanding of individual or organizational responsibilities in relation to DoD or government-wide strategic priorities. Executives should demonstrate the ability to work with internal and external partners to support national security objectives. This perspective is typically gained through a variety of diverse work experiences.

Education: A bachelor's degree from an accredited institution is desired. A master's or advanced degree from an accredited institution is highly desired.

Additional Information: Veterans' Preference: Veterans' preference is not applicable to the SES. Relocation Authorized: Payment of Permanent Change of Station (PCS) costs is authorized in accordance with the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR). Recruitment/Relocation Incentive: May be offered.
