• Translate operational tasks and training/maintenance outcomes into product requirements, value propositions, and clear measures of effectiveness (MoE) and performance (MoP) for both initial acquisition and sustainment
• Lead product lifecycle activities specific to training: requirements capture, training effectiveness metrics, certification and accreditation requirements, business case and affordability analysis, pricing for training seats/time and equipment, and post-award sustainment/training-as-a-service roadmaps
• Collaborate with engineering, modeling & simulation, training development, logistics, and program management teams to define scalable, interoperable solutions leveraging digital training systems, M&S, live-virtual-constructive (LVC) integration, e-learning, digital twin, predictive logistics for spares and ATE reliability
• Provide market and customer input to capture teams: shape Statements of Work (SOWs), performance work statements, training standards references, test requirements, and evaluation criteria; ensure proposals align to customer doctrine and certification processes
• Support sales, capture, and proposal development with persuasive, technically credible content: solution briefs, training/trainer demonstrations, instructor support concepts, cost-per-qualification models, and hands-on demonstrations for government stakeholders
• Support all BGS-G proposal efforts involving training content, from early bid strategy through proposal delivery. Partner with capture, sales, engineering, and program teams to define the training approach, shape the win strategy, develop compliant and compelling proposal material, and ensure the final offering is technically sound, commercially competitive, and aligned with customer requirements and acquisition strategy
• Establish and maintain relationships with government training commands, sustainment organizations, program executive offices (PEOs), prime integrators, MRO partners, simulation houses, and small business technology suppliers to accelerate capability delivery and differentiation
• Serve as an internal advisor on competitor training offerings, procurement pathways, training accreditation, and sustainment acquisition strategies to influence product roadmaps and capture decisions
