Chief of Staff

Chief of Staff

The Opportunity: 

An effective program requires people who are passionate about guiding it through the complexities of its lifecycle. It requires leaders who are dedicated to identifying challenges, mitigating risks, and supporting a team with vision and focus. That’s why we need you, a seasoned Chief of Staff who can help ensure our Unmanned Maritime System (UMS) program achieves success.

As Chief of Staff, you will work closely with Booz Allen colleagues, Navy clients, and cross-functional teams from various agencies and organizations to plan and execute rapid, dynamic, and large-scale acquisition for Navy Unmanned Maritime Systems (UMS) programs. You’ll help integrate UMS and UMS technologies to deploy warfighting systems across a large stakeholder community across the globe. You will create and manage technical projects and briefs for senior leadership, including congressional and flag-level reports on performance, cost, schedule, and risk. You’ll develop and maintain program goals, strategies, and plans to synchronize client business rhythms across the program portfolios. Your expertise will lead to facilitating technical interchange meetings and technical and program management reviews and working groups. You’ll orchestrate the development, coordination, and closure of high-priority tasks and initiatives in accordance with established timelines and quality standards. You will not simply direct, but lead by example, relying on your own expertise to independently create and deliver products needed by the team. From building and maintaining relationships with senior-level clients and stakeholders, aiding in decision making to obtaining consensus, and driving the team to meet all milestones, you’ll lead meaningful Chief of Staff duties. Come join us in supporting our nation at the leading edge.
