OT/CSO Institutional SME

About the Role

ASI Government is building a team of Other Transaction (OT) and Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) practitioners to help NAVSUP stand up a sustainable, enterprise-wide OT/CSO capability. Two Institutional-Posturing SMEs are needed to work at the NAVSUP Headquarters level — building the policy, governance, and workforce foundation that will let NAVSUP's new acquisition flexibility scale well beyond the Norfolk pilot office and reach programs across the enterprise.

Key Responsibilities

• Establish a documented process for qualifying, appointing, and warranting Agreements Officers.
• Help NAVSUP develop internal OT and CSO guidelines, templates, guides, handbooks, and decision tools.
• Partner with policy, legal, finance, and NAVSUP leadership to build institutional support for OT/CSO use.
• Help define review pathways, approval processes, delegations of authority, and governance structures.
• Coordinate with the Department of War Acquisition University (WarAU) to identify or develop appropriate training for the OT/CSO workforce.
• Support development of NAVSUP's broader OT/CSO education program, in partnership with the Education SME.

Required Experience

• Experience as an OT and/or CSO practitioner, with a practical understanding of how these authorities are used from requirement through award.
• Experience developing policy, guidelines, templates, or governance frameworks within a federal acquisition organization.
• Familiarity with the Agreements Officer warranting/qualification process (or comparable Contracting Officer warranting processes).
• Strong stakeholder management skills; comfortable working across policy, legal, finance, and senior leadership.
• Active Secret clearance required at time of hire.
• Based in or within regular commuting/travel distance of the Philadelphia, PA metro area, with willingness to travel to NAVSUP Headquarters in Mechanicsburg, PA as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience building or maturing an OT/CSO (or similar non-FAR) capability within a DoD organization.
• DAWIA Contracting certification (or equivalent), FAC-C, or FAC-COR credentials.
• Experience developing training curricula or coordinating with acquisition training organizations (e.g., WarAU, formerly DAU).
• Prior experience supporting Navy or NAVSUP programs.

Why Join ASI Government?

• Help build the institutional foundation for a Navy-wide acquisition capability that will outlast any single program.
• Work on high-impact, high-visibility projects that improve government services.
• Collaborate with experienced consultants in strategy, analytics, and organizational development.
• Opportunity for career growth in a dynamic and mission-driven environment.
• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package (viewable on our careers site).
