Amentum is seeking an experienced Project Manager (SME) to support Combatant Command Operations in the Information Environment (OIE) under the Apollo program. The Apollo Solutions Architect Team (ASAT) is a cross-functional enterprise team that drives innovation, standardization, and integration across all Apollo Task Order services. ASAT serves as Apollo’s dedicated SME cell, delivering scalable support to Combatant Commands through advanced solution design, operational integration, training, analysis, and modernization. Centrally based in Tampa, the ASAT continuously develops and deploys new tools, workflows, and TTPs to outpace adversaries and strengthen Combatant Command information advantage.

As a member of ASAT, the selected candidate will manage integrated capability-development projects that improve how Apollo plans, fields, adopts, sustains, and assesses OIE/IW capabilities across Combatant Commands and mission partners. This role applies a holistic capability-lines-of-development approach — including doctrine/TTPs, organization, training, materiel/tools, leadership, personnel, facilities, policy, and process integration — to ensure new capabilities are operationally relevant, adoptable, measurable, scalable, and aligned with Government objectives. The Project Manager (SME) will coordinate cross-functional teams, manage Integrated Project Plans, track risks and dependencies, synchronize stakeholder inputs, and drive implementation of enterprise solutions that improve planning, operations, assessment, mission-enabling services, and decision support.

• Coordinate across ASAT Solutions Managers, Solutions Designers, Innovation SMEs, Plans/Ops SMEs, Assessment SMEs, Data/AI SMEs, Knowledge Managers, Training/Adoption SMEs, and operational stakeholders to ensure capability solutions are fully integrated and operationally executable.
• Support capability gap analysis, requirements decomposition, stakeholder analysis, implementation planning, and sustainment planning for OIE/IW tools, workflows, data architectures, assessment methods, planning processes, and operational support capabilities.
• Ensure new or improved capabilities are aligned with Apollo objectives, Task Order requirements, CCMD campaign priorities, joint planning processes, and Government-directed operational timelines.
• Develop project management artifacts, including project charters, implementation plans, milestone schedules, risk registers, decision logs, action trackers, project briefs, capability roadmaps, and executive-level status updates.
• Identify risks, interdependencies, constraints, and mitigation actions affecting capability implementation, including security, classification, data-access, staffing, stakeholder coordination, technical integration, adoption, training, and sustainment considerations.
• Support change management and capability adoption by ensuring users, staffs, planners, analysts, and leadership understand how new tools, workflows, processes, and methodologies improve mission execution.
• Coordinate pilot efforts, proof-of-concept activities, capability demonstrations, user-feedback sessions, after-action reviews, and continuous-improvement cycles.
• Develop measures of performance, measures of effectiveness, adoption metrics, utilization indicators, and ROI inputs to assess capability value and inform prioritization decisions.
• Support integration of advanced technologies, digital tools, data-management approaches, AI-enabled analytics, collaboration platforms, and knowledge-management solutions into operational workflows.
• Maintain alignment between project execution, ASAT innovation priorities, PMO governance, CCMD requirements, task-level deliverables, and Apollo’s enterprise operating model.
