3) Stakeholder Communication & Customer Leadership
Act as the primary point of contact for government contracting officers, NAVAIR program representatives, and commercial clients.
Lead recurring program reviews, status briefings, and milestone meetings.
Maintain clear, transparent communication across internal and external stakeholders, ensuring alignment, accountability, and execution discipline.
4) Business Development & Growth
Support proposal development, cost estimating, and technical volume inputs for new opportunities.
Contribute to pursuits through development of WBS inputs, project schedules, and staffing plans.
Provide input to capture strategies and program transition planning for new awards.
5) Program Management Tools & Reporting
Maintain program visibility using Microsoft Project, Teams, and SharePoint.
Produce weekly and monthly progress reports covering KPIs, risks, and mitigation actions.
Maintain accurate RAILs (Revolving Action Item Logs) and ensure program documentation is complete, controlled, and archived.
6) Leadership, Safety Culture & Team Development
Model Aery’s safety-first and compliance-driven culture in every directive and decision.
Lead with a modern, people-centered approach—fostering accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
Mentor emerging program managers and coordinators; help strengthen organizational program execution capabilities.
You Must Have
