About the job

Akiak Technology is looking for a Senior Policy Research Analyst with subject matter expertise in government foreign policy, export control and treaty compliance related to ensuring national security for America’s leadership in the information and communications technology and services supply chain. Since the private sector controls a greater share of critical U.S. resources today more than ever, this role is therefore key to understanding American’s symbiotic relationship between industry and security. At the same time, the health of U.S. industry is dependent on U.S. security – of our borders, our critical infrastructures, and our computer networks. This position requires U.S. Citizenship and a Top-Secret/SCI clearance.

 Responsibilities:

• Determine priorities, goals, time frames, and management objectives for projects involving the drafting of new regulations or amendment of existing regulations to address risks.
• Identify issues relating to regulatory control, such as policy, licensing, compliance, enforcement, and legal issues, and coordinate with policy advisors and others responsible for these issues to improve success of regulatory objectives and to resolve problems, including making appropriate recommendations for regulatory modifications.
• Recommend new or amended regulations or procedures required to resolve significant problems or changes that arise.
• Identify the parameters of the issues concerned and determine probable courses of action, alternative actions, and their expected effects.
• Draft regulations to detail the definition, scope, risk assessment and mitigations for classes of transactions. 
• Draft policy and position papers and prepare briefing materials to assist in supporting senior Commerce officials.
• Draft materials explaining policy for inclusion in materials for distribution to external audiences.
• Conduct and facilitate industry engagements, roundtables, and other outreach functions.
• Conduct and facilitate international engagements, roundtables, and other outreach functions.

Qualifications

• You must have a minimum of 7-10 years of experience as a Policy Research Analyst in the formulation, application, and enforcement of political, economic, technological and security environment for government.
• A bachelor’s in computer science, Political Science, Engineering or related degree.
• A U.S. Citizen
