Looking for a job? The NSA is looking to hire a Civil Liberties & Privacy Officer.
The NSA Civil Liberties & Privacy Officer (CLPO) is conceived as a completely new role, combining the separate responsibilities of NSA's existing Civil Liberties and Privacy (CL/P) protection programs under a single official. The CLPO will serve as the primary advisor to the Director of NSA for ensuring that privacy is protected and civil liberties are maintained by all of NSA's missions, programs, policies and technologies. This new position is focused on the future, designed to directly enhance decision making and to ensure that CL/P protections continue to be baked into NSA's future operations, technologies, tradecraft, and policies.
The NSA CLPO will consult regularly with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence CLPO, privacy and civil liberties officials from the Department of Defense and the Department of Justice, as well as other U.S. government, private sector, public advocacy groups and foreign partners.
Responsibilities include advising NSA director Keith Alexander and the senior leadership team to ensure that all agency activities “appropriately protect privacy and civil liberties consistent with operational, legal, and other requirements.”
Anyone applying for the role would do well to familiarize themselves with the Electronic Frontier Foundation's handy guide to decoding NSA doublespeak.
