• Identify risks and issues, recommend solutions, and provide guidance to government PMs throughout project execution.
• Serve as an experienced and motivated professional supporting the Air Warfare Directorate by leveraging knowledge of DoW acquisition processes and analytical methods to gather, analyze, and evaluate information for program/project managers and stakeholders.
• Apply expertise in integration, communication, coordination, organization, and planning to technical and acquisition efforts across diverse functional disciplines, ensuring AFRL/RA programs effectively deliver and sustain Air Force warfighting capabilities.
• Analyze issues and develop solutions to improve Science and Technology (S&T) and acquisition effectiveness and compliance.
• Draft and review acquisition documentation, ensuring accuracy and quality control for S&T programs.
• Plan, schedule, coordinate, and conduct facilitation activities with host organization personnel and participating organizations.
• Provide training, facilitation, and decision-support services for offices engaged in group training sessions, collaborative efforts, working groups, or integrated product/process teams.
• Consult on subject matter, lead strategic planning events, and manage discussions involving controversial topics or differing opinions-guiding conversations toward constructive outcomes and actionable plans.
• Document agendas, attendee lists, meeting minutes, and resulting action items for official records.
• Deliver presentations and briefings to large audiences including personnel with significant responsibilities, demonstrating strong public speaking skills.
Qualifications Required:
