  • Education: Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g., Engineering, Business, Management) required. Advanced degree (e.g., Master's in Program Management or Engineering) is highly preferred.
  • Air Force Specific Experience: Direct experience supporting Air Force programs and familiarity with Air Force-specific processes, requirements, and stakeholders.
  • Program Management Tools: Proficiency with program management tools and software (e.g., MS Project, Primavera, Earned Value Management Systems).
  • Leadership & Communication: Strong leadership, interpersonal, and communication skills. Ability to interact effectively with senior military officials, government personnel, and contractors.
