The Opportunity:
Are you looking for an opportunity to apply your program management expertise and DoD acquisition experience to make an impact on national security? You've spent a career operating at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels advising senior leaders, coordinating across Combatant Commands, and translating complex defense requirements into executable plans and programs. You know how to synchronize varied stakeholders, manage risk, and produce the technical and programmatic products that keep high-priority defense programs on track. If this sounds like you, come join Booz Allen's team to support a critical Navy program.
As a Senior Program Manager supporting U.S. Navy weapons systems. You will provide program management leadership across the full acquisition lifecycle. You will advise senior government stakeholders on program strategy, schedule, and execution, develop and maintain program documentation, and coordinate across multiple DoD organizations, program offices, and industry partners to support acquisition planning and delivery objectives. You will help shape and sustain the capabilities that underpin fleet readiness.
