Core Collector/Collection Management Officer
Core Collector-certified Collection Management Officers (CMO’s) oversee and facilitate the collection, evaluation, classification, and dissemination of foreign intelligence developed from clandestine sources. CMO’s play a critical role in ensuring that foreign intelligence collected by clandestine sources is relevant, timely, and addresses the highest foreign policy and national security needs of the nation. They are substantive experts in their area of specialty, have a comprehensive knowledge of how National Clandestine Service operations are conducted, and an in depth understanding of overseas operating environments as well as current and looming international issues.

During overseas assignments, CMO’s work closely with the OO’s to ensure that collection operations are designed to meet intelligence priorities fully and accurately; that recruitment of and interaction with clandestine sources is as effective as possible; and that resulting intelligence reports convey relevant information clearly and accurately—while at the same time protecting collection operations as well as individual sources. In addition and as required, CMO’s--like OO’s—are engaged in the full cycle of collection operations (spotting, assessing, developing, recruiting and handling sources).
During Headquarters assignments, CMO’s interact directly with the full range of intelligence consumers—from the most senior policymakers to analysts throughout the intelligence, defense, and law enforcement communities—to identify and prioritize intelligence collection needs and to ensure they are communicated accurately to Operations Officers in the field. Typically, Core Collector/CMO’s spend approximately 40-50 percent of their career overseas.

Working as part of a team or independently with minimal supervision, CMO’s must be able to deal effectively with individuals at all levels, often under the pressure of fast breaking, sometimes ambiguous, situations and rapidly changing intelligence priorities. Excellent verbal and written communications skills are a must for CMO’s, as are well developed time management and multitasking abilities along with rock solid judgment.

Minimum requirements for Core Collector positions include a bachelor's degree and a strong academic record, with a strong interest in international affairs and solid interpersonal and communications skills, including the ability to write clearly and accurately. Foreign travel and area knowledge, prior residency abroad, cross-cultural sensitivity, and foreign language proficiency (particularly in the critical languages of Arabic, Chinese, Dari, Indonesian, Korean, Pashto/Pashtu, Persian, Russian, Turkish, Urdu) are desirable. The 35-year maximum age requirement can be waived on a case-by-case basis.
Because of CIA’s national security role, all applicants must successfully complete a thorough medical and psychological exam, a polygraph interview and an extensive background investigation.
