• Maintain required plans, procedures, readiness information, and compliance with applicable DoD, federal, and contractual requirements.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor degree and 12 – 15 years of prior relevant experience or Masters with 10 – 13 years of prior relevant experience.
• Experience supporting medical operations, patient movement, medical logistics, healthcare administration, or health service support in a DoD, federal, or defense environment.
