  Overview
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 Do you get a quiet thrill from catching a misplaced comma? Does a poorly structured briefing keep you up at night? Do you believe that clear, compelling communication can actually change outcomes, even at the highest levels of government?
 <br/>
 <br/>
 If so, we might be your people.

 <br/>
 FWI is supporting the Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) Office of Corporate Communications (OCC), the team responsible for how one of the nation's most important intelligence agencies talks to Congress, the public, and its own workforce. And right now, we need a sharp, detail-obsessed Technical Editor/Writer to help us make sure every word we put out is accurate, polished, and on point. This isn't a "track changes and move on" kind of role. You'll be embedded in a fast-moving, mission-driven environment where what you edit today could brief a senator tomorrow. The work is varied, the stakes are real, and the team is genuinely good at what they do.
