- Running recurring execution reviews, planning sessions, and follow-up to completion
- Coordinating with Mission Readiness, Engineering, Program Management, Training, ILS, Support, and Product teams
Required: 5+ years in operations, program management, resource planning, or workflow ownership in technical environments; experience owning intake, prioritization, throughput tracking, or resource allocation for multi-stakeholder teams; demonstrated ability to drive execution across teams without direct reporting authority; proficiency with Jira or comparable work-management systems; ability to make timely, evidence-based resourcing decisions; willingness to make and defend firm staffing decisions; eligibility for Secret-level security clearance or higher.
Preferred: experience in aerospace, defense, robotics, autonomy, manufacturing, or complex technical environments; background supporting technical publications, sustainment, training, ILS, or documentation-heavy functions; familiarity with formal deliverables (CDRLs, DMRLs, technical manuals); experience building operating metrics, dashboards, or staffing views for leadership.
