The incumbent fosters mission integration by building communities of interest (CoIs) and developing relationships with senior-level oversight and customer stakeholders, developing strategic plans for the functional mission area in alignment with NGA strategy, supporting prioritization of investments in sources, technology, innovation, and R&D, developing and championing analytic and functional tradecraft requirements, and advocating for training and career development opportunities.

The SGA represents the DoD and Intelligence Community (IC) at national and international forums to enhance data, cost, and burden sharing for GEOINT production supporting next generation Foundation GEOINT services. The SGA prioritizes and de-conflicts GEOMATICS related acquisition and production issues among the Agency, IC, NSG, and Allied partners. The SGA coordinates multi-disciplinary processes associated with complex, controversial, or precedent-setting matters that have a critical bearing on the accomplishment of current or future capabilities and research and development. The SGA advocates GEOMATICS issues across all NGA key components to ensure a common understanding of strategic GEOMATICS requirements and provide a coordinated agency effort to meet them over the long-term.
