Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree and eight or more years of relevant DoD experience in manpower analysis, workforce planning, organizational analysis, force management, personnel policy, operations research, or a related field.
• Direct experience conducting or supporting a DoD manpower study, manpower requirements determination, organizational assessment, or mission-function-task analysis.
• Demonstrated ability to translate mission demand into workload drivers, time standards, coverage factors, and traceable FTE requirements.
• Experience modeling persistent or 24/7 operations, including shift coverage, relief factors, surge posture, variability, and operational-risk assumptions.
• Experience reconciling required, authorized, assigned, and on-hand staffing and identifying the operational causes and effects of manpower gaps.
• Knowledge of military, civilian, and contractor workforce-mix decisions, including inherently governmental considerations, continuity, access, readiness, and oversight trade-offs.
• Strong quantitative, facilitation, and executive-writing skills, with the ability to explain assumptions, uncertainty, and mission impact to senior leaders.
• Active Department of Defense Secret clearance and the ability to satisfy all customer security, suitability, and installation-access requirements.

Responsibilities

• Develop a mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive taxonomy of the command's missions, functions, and tasks, with clear ownership boundaries, outputs, dependencies, complexity tiers, authorities, and completion criteria.
• Define workload-driver trees and success measures that connect mission demand to measurable volume, complexity, service-level, coverage, compliance, and risk factors.
• Document the data source, owner, collection cadence, known quality issues, and validation method for each key workload driver and performance measure.
• Build a J-Directorate-aligned interview architecture, data inventory, extraction plan, and mission-function-task-to-role crosswalk that supports complete and non-duplicative analysis.
• Conduct structured, artifact-based interviews using recent incidents, exercises, patch cycles, recurring reporting, and other representative work to validate task definitions, workload, constraints, and handoffs.
• Organize needs by mission set, characterize required versus authorized versus on-hand gaps, and express operational consequences through specific mission-impact statements.
• Develop a transparent workload-to-FTE model using demand drivers, time standards, complexity and variability factors, quality requirements, and explicit assumptions for 24/7 coverage, relief, surge, and major-incident conditions.
• Forecast workload over three to five years and use scenario and sensitivity analysis to identify the assumptions that drive the greatest variance in manpower requirements.
• Assess military, civilian, and contractor workforce options using mission authority, inherently governmental considerations, readiness, continuity, security, access, retention, and oversight requirements.
• Identify critical dependencies and produce decision-ready reports, executive briefings, an implementation roadmap, and a repeatable manpower-refresh toolkit.
