• Develop and maintain high-fidelity dashboards, scorecards, and predictive metrics that translate complex programmatic data into actionable decision-support products for senior leadership.
• Monitor the health of newly implemented processes, identifying opportunities for iterative refinement based on program performance and user feedback.
• Support the integration of next-gen weapon systems by ensuring all programmatic data, schedules, and risks are aligned with Directorate-level strategic roadmaps.
• Draft strategic communications materials, including executive-level messaging, talking points, and briefing decks that articulate transformation progress to senior Government leadership.
• Synthesize complex technical and operational data to support high-level acquisition decision analysis and major program reviews.
• Ensure compliance with established governance and recurring business rhythms, maintaining the rigor of the Directorate’s oversight and execution frameworks.
• Manage and update critical program artifacts, such as risk registers, action trackers, and integrated master schedules, to ensure real-time visibility into program execution.
