About the Role

ASI Government provides government leaders with the expertise they need to navigate acquisition and organizational challenges so they can make an impact and achieve their goals. For over 30 years, ASI has transformed the way government does business, impacting over 70 government agencies across the civilian, defense, and intelligence communities. We are looking for smart, curious, driven individuals to join us in partnering with our client to help them solve some of the nation's most challenging problems. ASI Government serves as a trusted adviser to government leaders seeking improved performance, enhanced organization effectiveness, and strategic change.

ASI Government is building our proposal team for a new task order supporting the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Office of the Chief Acquisition Executive (OCAE). This position will lead the design, delivery, and continuous improvement of training for CISA's acquisition workforce, including the agency's Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and Project Manager (PM) Community of Practice (CoP). CISA's acquisition community is navigating significant staff turnover alongside the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO), and this role will be central to helping new and returning acquisition professionals build the skills and confidence needed to support CISA's cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection mission.

As the Senior Training & Development Specialist will serve as the technical lead for all training and development activities on the contract, partnering closely with the Project Manager, the CISA COR, and Government stakeholders to ensure training is grounded in real workforce needs and delivered to a high standard.

  • Evaluate training effectiveness and alignment with CISA's organizational goals, incorporating participant feedback into iterative course updates.
  • Produce polished deliverables suitable for Government publication, including slide presentations and on-demand video recordings.
  • Support the broader COR/PM Community of Practice by helping integrate role responsibilities and expectations across the acquisition workforce.
  • Serve as Lead: maintain continuity of support, coordinate closely with the Project Manager and COR, and support any Government-requested transition activities.

  • Mastery of IDE frameworks and models such as: ADDIE, SAM (Successive Approximation Model), Dick and Carey Model, Action Mapping, etc.
  • Experience designing and delivering training to a federal, state, or large enterprise audience.
