• Drive professional development and foster a collaborative environment to translate complex mission requirements into actionable construction deliverables.
• Develop budget forecasts, cost projections, unfunded requirements justifications, POM narratives, offsets and disconnects, reclamas, and issue papers.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of planning actions as related to key operational events and milestones.
• Prepare professional-level engineering and scientific documents and deliver executive-level briefings.
• Manage complex multi-disciplinary research, development, and engineering acquisition programs, including developing acquisition strategies, defining contract structures, leading source selections, and managing large contracts.
• Gather, assemble, and analyze facts; draw conclusions; conduct analysis; and devise recommended solutions for top management decision-making.

About the organization

The United States Space Force (USSF) is a military service that organizes, trains, and equips military members and civilians to protect U.S. and allied interests in space and provide space capabilities to the joint force. USSF responsibilities include developing Guardians, acquiring military space systems, maturing military doctrine for space power, and organizing space forces for Combatant Commands (CCMDs).

The strategic importance of space is critical, as political, humanitarian, and commercial interests rely on space-based systems. Launched in 2019 as the nation’s sixth and newest military branch, the USSF was created to protect the interests and assets of America and its allies in this contested realm. The Department of War relies on satellites and advanced space-based technology for secure communications, navigation, real-time reconnaissance, precision targeting, early warning of missile launches, and weather forecasting.

The Space Force aims to attract talent with the character and potential to excel, empower them with information and choices, and develop them in line with both individual desires and organizational needs to create a high-performing team necessary to secure and defend space.
