  • Process Optimization & Digital Tool Integration:Proactively adopt, learn, and configure modern digital platforms (such as SharePoint, Teams, and Power Platform) to optimize legacy workflows, streamline tracking, and build efficient, standardized management processes.
  • POM & Funding Alignment:Ensure activities have Program Objective Memorandum (POM) requirements in place to support transition into in-service, including out-year budget planning to maintain the required level of effort.
  • Lessons Learned Integration:Work directly with other Program Offices to identify historical infrastructure and operational lessons learned that can be incorporated into OHIO-CLB transition plans.
  • Stakeholder Liaison: Liaise with stakeholders across NAVSEA Program Offices, NAVFAC, CNIC, and external stakeholders including Planning Yards, Public Shipyards and Maintenance facilities, Naval Warfare Centers, and Submarine Type Commander (TYCOM) personnel.
