Embracing Flexibility at NSA

Schedules that Support Mission and Life

With core hours and expanding work schedule options, we’re empowering supervisors to support you. That freedom can look like Fridays off in summer, volunteering in your child’s classroom, enjoying hobbies or whatever matters most to you.

Competitive Benefits

Flexible Core Hours


The ability to set your own work schedule gives you the flexibility to maximize your downtime. (Dependent on work role and mission requirements.)

Civilian Fitness Program


NSA offers employees up to 3 hours of paid leave per week to engage in physical fitness activities at approved locations.

Relocation Benefits


Along with reimbursing qualified new hires for moving expenses, we also provide a sponsorship program, allowing new hires the opportunity to ask a current NSA employee questions related to their new location.

We’re Hiring! Our mission to protect the nation demands a team of technical experts as well as business and HR professionals, linguists, intelligence analysts, communications specialists and more. We have career opportunities in 17 different fields, so there is truly something for everyone.
