As the Senior Manager and 2nd-Level (or higher) Supervisor for the 517 SWES/MXDPD, you will lead the elite flight responsible for the software that saves lives on the battlefield and secures our nation's most sensitive programs. By directing work activities through subordinate supervisors and team leads, you will drive the development, modernization, and sustainment of secure web-based applications. In this high-consequence leadership role, you will:
- Oversee the Personnel Recovery Command and Control (PRC2) web applications, directly enabling real-time mission planning and execution to bring isolated personnel home.
- Spearhead the Combat Survivor Evader Locator Next Generation Survival Radio (CSEL-NGSR) Cloud Application Solution (CAS) web interface, ensuring secure, two-way battlefield data.
- Govern the Enterprise Tooling (ET) workload, providing multi-level security (MLS) and multi-Program ID (PID) web applications to streamline operations for the SAP community.
- Exercise comprehensive control, strategic planning, and managerial authority over a highly specialized technical workforce, briefing senior leadership on a continuous basis.
If You Are:
We are seeking an enterprise-level leader of leaders who can navigate complex organizational structures and deliver secure, high-stakes software. You will excel in this position if you are:
- An Proven Leader of Leaders: A seasoned 2nd-level supervisor who excels at delegating through subordinate leads, managing positions, and cultivating a culture of technical excellence.
- A Guardian of Isolated Personnel: Someone deeply motivated by the Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) mission, ensuring that tactical communications systems work flawlessly when lives are on the line.
- A Secure Systems Strategist: Highly experienced in navigating the complexities of Multi-Level Security (MLS), Special Access Programs (SAPs), and secure cloud infrastructures.
- A Decisive Executive Advisor: A polished communicator capable of translating highly technical flight operations into strategic, high-level briefs for senior DoD leadership.
Where rescue missions meet next-generation cloud security, your leadership will save lives. This is not a standard IT management role-this is a seat at the helm of the software systems that protect our isolated warfighters and secure our nation's most sensitive military programs. If you are ready to wield decisive managerial authority, mentor an elite flight, and deliver secure operational dominance, apply today and lead the 517 SWES D Flight into the future of tactical command and control.
