  • Assist in managing and overseeing Air Force interests through all phases of the DoD acquisition lifecycle for the four major Joint CBRN Defense Programs prior to equipment fielding.
  • Maintain a web-based collaboration tool to ensure maximum community awareness for key Air Force CBRN acquisition information.
  • Develop, schedule, orchestrate, and execute Senior Executive-level working groups in support of OSD CBRN modernization and acquisition efforts under AF/A4C oversight.
  • Prepare briefings, Bullet Background Papers (BBPs), and associated documentation supporting working groups, Integrated Product Teams (IPTs), and tiger teams analyzing CBRN requirements and acquisition programs.
  • Assist Government representatives in ensuring Air Force CBRN equities are accurately captured in DAF, Joint, DoD, and NATO planning and programming documents.
  • Coordinate and collaborate across the DAF enterprise to advocate for Air Force equities at all Joint/OSD-led CBRN defense research, development, and acquisition phases in accordance with the JCIDS process and DAF vision, mission, and goals.
Required Experience/Clearance
  • Active Top Secret SCI clearance.
  • Bachelorโ€™s degree from an accredited college or university.
  • 15+ years of experience (GS-13/GS-14 equivalent) in Emergency Services and CBRN defense operations across a full-spectrum threat environment.
  • Policy & Governance: Broad expertise in corporate processes, policies, and programs, with expert knowledge of Global Force Management (GFM) policies, guidance, and strategies.
  • Acquisition & JCIDS: Demonstrated knowledge and working experience with the DoD 5000 series acquisition lifecycle and the JCIDS process.
  • Communication: Proven ability to write executive-level Air Force documentation (e.g., DAFIs, Bullet Background Papers, executive briefings) and lead cross-functional working groups.
