  • Lead risk assessment activities and oversee identification and evaluation of performance, cost, schedule, personnel, contract, and subcontract management risks.
  • Engineer advanced solutions and apply your deep expertise and broad industry knowledge to develop innovative approaches to complex mission challenges.
  • Partner with risk owners, collaborate across functional teams to conduct probability and impact analyses, and define strategies that minimize or mitigate risk while optimizing opportunities.
  • Standardize and elevate practices and apply industry standards to build and execute structured strategies, plans, and processes supporting comprehensive risk capture and assessment.
  • Guide and mentor teams, operate independently, provide direction to team members, and build capability across the program.
