  • Consolidate process improvements and lessons learned, obtaining Program Manager approval prior to implementation.

What You'll Bring
  • Education: Bachelor's degree in a related field (business administration, mathematics, or engineering) with 4+ years of related experience. Any equivalent combination of education, training, and experience may be used in lieu of the noted degree and experience.

  • Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to work under general supervision and exercise sound technical judgment.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen and able to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance (level per program requirements).

Ways to Stand Out - Preferred Requirements
  • Prior experience leading or mentoring program control or financial analysts.
  • Experience on IDIQ or multi-task-order defense programs spanning development, production, and sustainment.
  • Familiarity with EVM cost tools (e.g., Cobra) and workforce/programmatic tools (e.g., Tempus).
