About the role

Our clerks work alongside Army Senior Guidance Counselors to move applicant packets, medical documentation, and waivers through MIRS, ARISS, Recruiter Zone, and MHS Genesis so future Soldiers can process and ship on time.
You will be the single point of contact for the Army Contracting Officer and COR, with full authority to act for Connexus on daily operations. If you have worked in Army recruiting or at a MEPS and know how applicant processing really runs, this role puts that experience to work at national scale.

- Coordinate hiring, onboarding, background investigations (e-QIP), and system access requests (DD Form 2875) with our recruiting and security teams
- Arrange coverage for absences, notify the COR of vacancies within 24 hours, and see that vacancies are filled within 10 workdays
- Prepare weekly attendance reports and monthly activity reports, and lead quarterly performance reviews with the Government
- Build working relationships with Senior Guidance Counselors and MEPS staff, and resolve issues quickly
- Attend meetings, briefings, and program reviews at Fort Knox as required

- Able to read, write, and speak English fluently
Preferred qualifications
- Prior service or civilian work as an Army recruiter, guidance counselor, recruiting station or company leader, or USAREC or USMEPCOM staff member
- Hands-on experience with MIRS, ARISS, GCR, Recruiter Zone, or MHS Genesis
- Experience managing a Government service contract, including reporting to a COR
- Bachelor's degree or PMP certification
Eligibility note
Under the contract's conflict-of-interest rules, we cannot hire anyone currently assigned to, working for, or on duty with USAREC or its subordinate units, or a family member (spouse, child, parent, in-law, stepparent, or stepchild) of such a person.
