Founded in 1981 in partnership with whistleblowers, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is a nonpartisan independent watchdog that works to expose waste, corruption, abuse of power, and other instances where the government fails to serve the public. We champion reforms to achieve a more effective, ethical, and accountable federal government that safeguards constitutional principles. POGO has an over $7 million annual budget that supports a staff of over 50 employees.
POGO’s Center for Defense Information (CDI) focuses on bringing accountability to the Pentagon and ensuring effective defense spending decisions that prioritize the country, not defense contractors.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in congressional and administrative procedures, with a deep understanding of defense spending, national security law and policy, government procurement, and/or protection of democratic values. The Director of CDI reports to the Vice President of Policy and Government Affairs.
