Technical Editor/Writer

Overview Help shape how the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) communicates with Congress and preserves its own history. As a Technical Editor/Writer, you'll polish the notifications and briefing materials that go to U.S. Legislative Staff one day, then dig into archives and historical narratives bound for the DIA Heritage Museum the next. It's a rare mix: high-stakes, fast-turnaround Hill-facing writing paired with deep historical research, done at the heart of the nation's defense intelligence mission.

This is a blended role split between two OCE missions: supporting the Congressional Relations Branch's notifications to U.S. Legislative Staff and the Strategic Communications Branch's briefings, articles, and other communications products; and supporting the DIA History Branch's (HSTB) research, writing, and oral history mission, including materials for the DIA Heritage Museum. You will produce polished, accurate, on-deadline written products for both Capitol Hill-facing and historical audiences, working closely with OCE and HSTB staff throughout. Work Schedule and Location: On-Site: This full-time on-site position will work Monday through Friday, 0800-1600 at the DIA Headquarters in Washington DC. FWI is expanding rapidly and has been recognized as a 2024, 2025 and 2026 Top Workplace, offering excellent growth opportunities in a collaborative environment.

Ensure products conform to the applicable style guide (AP Style for corporate materials; DIA's Correspondence Guide for formal and Congressional correspondence). Assist OCC with proper grammar usage in support of briefings, including design and layout, animations, interactive multimedia, video conferencing, and other visual products. Work closely with writers and visual information specialists, suggesting changes to enhance readability, conciseness, and consistency of tone and style.
