Technical Assent is seeking a Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) Consultant to support the Department of War Supply Chain Risk Management Integration Center (SCRM-IC). The SCRM-IC is responsible for accelerating the adoption of SCRM best practices across the Department, coordinating and sharing identified supply chain risks, advancing the use of enterprise analytics, tools, and data, and establishing processes for elevating enterprise-wide risks to senior DoD leaders.
The Consultant will support enterprise SCRM integration through risk analysis, governance support, project and action tracking, development and implementation of supply chain risk controls, research and reporting, and coordination with stakeholders across the Department.
Role DescriptionThe Supply Chain Risk Management Consultant will work as part of an integrated team supporting the SCRM-IC and its mission to identify, assess, coordinate, and address enterprise-wide supply chain risks across the Department of War.
In this role, the Consultant will apply technical and analytical expertise across logistics and supply chain disciplines to evaluate requirements, analyze existing processes and risks, and develop practical solutions that support integrated program execution. The Consultant will independently research, prepare, and deliver high-quality work products while working collaboratively with Government stakeholders and other members of the Technical Assent team.
Responsibilities may include:
- Lead development of Department of War-level policy related to supply chain risk management, including new DoW Instructions, Directives, Manuals, and other forms of guidance; incorporate policy requirements into U.S. code, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation, and other forms of relevant guidance as needed.
- Analyze existing DoW authorities and apply them to emergent policy; evaluate new legislation for applicability to the SCRM problem space, and develop new legislative proposals if needed to support a complete infrastructure of law, regulation, and policy to support SCRM oversight and control.
- Support enterprise SCRM planning and execution. Develop and maintain plans of actions and milestones (POAMs) for lines of effort within the SCRM integration framework and support the development, maintenance, and execution of timelines and project plans for assigned activities.
- Support integration of risk controls into supply chain and materiel management processes. Analyze existing supply chain management processes to identify opportunities for integrating risk controls; propose appropriate controls; develop implementation plans; and track and report implementation progress.
- Conduct research and analysis in response to Government requirements. Review assigned tasks, determine the actions required to address them, conduct supporting research and analysis, and provide recommendations to the Government lead or designated point of contact.
- Prepare decision-quality written and presentation products. Develop reports, briefings, summaries, memoranda, correspondence, presentations, talking points, white papers, and other materials that clearly communicate analysis, recommendations, progress, and decisions.
- Contribute to annual SCRM reporting. Support development of the annual SCRM Integration Report summarizing progress against line-of-effort POAMs, governance activities, decisions, and actions taken to mitigate or resolve enterprise-wide risks.
- Support boards, committees, and working groups. Assist Government-led governance bodies by coordinating meetings, maintaining participant information, consolidating issues and briefing materials, preparing readaheads and talking points, documenting discussions and taskings, and supporting updates to governing charters when directed.
- Support recurring program reporting and task management. Develop, collect, compile, and submit required activity reporting and use Government-designated systems and processes to manage correspondence and assigned tasks. Support maintenance of relevant content on SharePoint/Interlink sites, Microsoft Teams channels, and official group mailboxes.
- Support oversight and audit activities. Assist with Government Accountability Office, Inspector General, or other audit-related requests as directed and in accordance with established procedures.
- Support the annual Supply Chain Risk Management Summit. As assigned, contribute to planning and execution of the annual SCRM Summit, including stakeholder coordination, administrative and logistics support, panel and speaker coordination, attendee registration, and on-site support.
The Consultant is expected to approach assignments in the context of the Government's broader mission and objectives, anticipate risks and stakeholder needs, and support decisions through well-researched and data-driven analysis.
