The Opportunity:

As the CACI Program Manager, you will lead a team of Information Operations (IO) and Military Information Support Operations (MISO) planners and analysts in support of U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) and its strategic partners. This role requires a technical understanding of the tool suites as well as the end users, but more importantly, it is the center for a team that is rapidly developing the use of commercial, open source, and classified data to meet the objectives of the customer. You will enable operations through creativity and vision as you map the efforts to develop the future of analytics against a range of threats.

You will serve as CACI’s primary POC to the Government for all matters related to Task Order execution and provide overall leadership and guidance for contractor personnel assigned to the Task Order, including assigning tasks to contractor personnel, supervising ongoing technical efforts, and managing overall Task performance.  You will be responsible for the quality and efficiency of all assigned tasks, including technical issues and business processes.

You will provide GSA/AAS Defense (formerly FEDSIM), USCENTCOM and its strategic partners with expert advice, planning, advisory, operational knowledge, and technical expertise that enables the effective integration of planning, analysis, experimentation, management, and concept testing to develop current and future capabilities that meet our client’s global operational challenges, resulting in the delivery of material and nonmaterial solutions for SOF and General Purpose Forces capabilities and mission requirements.  You will collaborate across USCENTCOM, the DoD, commercial industry, and the academic space to identify and develop technology and capability enhancements informed by close collaboration and coordination with the labs, universities, agencies, and industry partners on the cutting edge of research and development. 

Additionally, you will assist in the Process Improvement and Quality Control (QC) processes for the program and the Program Management Office (PMO).  Associated tasks and responsibilities include identifying, analyzing, measuring, and implementing improved processes and workflows for the program.
