Advisor, Senior (Readiness TMS)

This program provides readiness and sustainment support to improve operational availability and mission effectiveness while controlling cost and optimizing constrained resources. Uses collaborative, data-driven operating models that include end-to-end readiness ecosystems (operations, maintenance, engineering, supply chain, manpower/training, and financial management). AI-enabled approaches are a desired element of the solution to improve the speed, scale, and consistency of analysis and decision support.

About the Role

The Advisor, Senior will develop the strategic direction, vision, and mission for the program. Provides insight and advice concerning strategic direction and applicability of up-to-date, industry-standard practices. Works with the program/project manager and senior client leadership to influence objectives of complex efforts. The role includes:

• Serving as a senior advisor to the Government and providing support on program/project operations.
