  • Conduct business process analysis to identify gaps and implement strategic workflow improvements.
  • Serve as the official ASP secretariat and deliver critical support to the ASB alongside broader agency boards.
  • Maintain the definitive master library of all ASP and ASB briefings, formal decisions, and supporting data, ensuring strict handling of source-selection-sensitive information.
  • Author and present complex written, verbal, and visual briefing materials specifically tailored in support of headquarters staff.
  • Provide high-level support for senior leader internal and external communication forums, coordinate briefings, and oversee organization-wide initiatives.
  • Support and coordinate high-visibility engagements with external defense industry partners and other government agencies.
  • Deliver weekly reports for senior executives, manage meeting minutes, collect executive read-ahead packages, and lead pre-meeting preparations.

  • Oversee document tracking, manage deadline suspenses, prepare status reports, and execute internal reviews of acquisition and contracting documents.
