Boost

BOOST LLC is a dynamic management consulting firm that offers an array of government-compliant back-office solutions to support our teaming partners within the GovCon space. Our consultants are experts in Accounting, Contracts, Human Resources, Recruiting & Sourcing, and Strategic Pricing, and our passion is guiding our partners toward success within this competitive sector. We are working with our client, Don Selvy Enterprises (DSE), to find their next Program Analysts. Three (3) positions are available.

About DSE

Since 1997, DSE has been a team of experienced professionals dedicated to engineering, training, and program management that enables front-line soldiers, sailors, and Marines to fully exploit the tactical capabilities of aviation and maritime platforms. Our Subject Matter Experts bring deep, experience-based knowledge to every acquisition pathway they support, from weapons systems acquisition to maintenance, modernization, and sustainment programs. If you're looking for a team with institutional knowledge, mission relevance, and long-term program stability, DSE has been delivering exactly that for over 25 years.

The Role

We are seeking Program Analysts to support our Patuxent River, MD customer. The Program Analyst provides support across the Tomahawk Weapons System Program Office, PMX-280, and directly supports the Capabilities Improvement (Obsolescence) IPT Lead.

The Program Analyst applies analytic techniques in the evaluation of program and project objectives. You will analyze requirements, status, budget, and schedules, and perform management, technical, or business case analyses. You will collect, complete, organize, and interpret data relating to aircraft, weapon, and project acquisition and product programs, track program status and schedules, and apply government-instituted processes for documentation, change control management, and data management.

Why DSE

DSE doesn't just ask for your experience, it rewards it. DSE's PTO program is experience-based rather than tenure-based, meaning the relevant industry experience you bring with you can qualify you for a higher PTO allocation from day one, rather than starting over at the bottom like you would at most employers. It's a rare structure in this industry, where most companies only reward the tenure you earn after you join, not the years of expertise you bring with you.

That same philosophy carries through the rest of the benefits package:

• Starting salary range: $80,000 to $125,000 annually
• Medical and dental: 100% company-paid premiums for employees, 50% for dependents
• 401(k): up to a 4% company match
• Insurance: fully paid life, short-term, and long-term disability, no cost to you
• Employer-funded FSA plus HRA contributions toward your deductible
• Experience-based PTO: your prior relevant experience can qualify you for a higher PTO allocation from day one, plus the option to purchase additional PTO
• 11 paid holidays (6 national, 5 floating)
• Tuition reimbursement to support continued professional growth
