Technical Assent is passionate about services – in government, business, and not-for-profit. We design exceptional service experiences, engineer them to be robust, and deliver real capability and business outcomes for our clients. You will be working on government programs that have strategic importance to our clients. Your team will work IN and ON the client’s core mission – helping them to deliver their services day-to-day while simultaneously looking for opportunities to improve. Our work is Driven by Evidence, Grounded in Understanding, and Focused on Impact.

POSITION OVERVIEW

The Policy Analyst will work as part of an integrated team to support the ODASW(Log) client in its mission to develop logistics policy, oversee policy implementation, and improve adoption of best practices and capabilities throughout the Department.

In this role, the Consultant will apply technical and analytical expertise across logistics and supply chain disciplines to evaluate requirements, analyze existing processes and risks, and develop practical solutions that support integrated program execution. The Consultant will independently research, prepare, and deliver high-quality work products while working collaboratively with Government stakeholders and other members of the Technical Assent team.

Responsibilities

• Lead development of Department of War-level policy related to supply chain and vendor risk management, including new DoW Instructions, Directives, Manuals, and other forms of guidance; incorporate policy requirements into U.S. code, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation, and other forms of relevant guidance as needed.
• Analyze existing DoW authorities and apply them to emergent policy; evaluate new legislation for applicability to the SCRM & vendor threat mitigation problem space, and develop new legislative proposals if needed to support a complete infrastructure of law, regulation, and policy to support oversight and control.
• Support enterprise planning and execution. Develop and maintain plans of actions and milestones (POAMs) for lines of effort within the SCRM or vendor threat mitigation integration framework and support the development, maintenance, and execution of timelines and project plans for assigned activities.
• Support integration of risk controls into supply chain and materiel management processes. Analyze existing supply chain management processes to identify opportunities for integrating risk controls; propose appropriate controls; develop implementation plans; and track and report implementation progress.
• Conduct research and analysis in response to Government requirements. Review assigned tasks, determine the actions required to address them, conduct supporting research and analysis, and provide recommendations to the Government lead or designated point of contact.
• Prepare decision-quality written and presentation products. Develop reports, briefings, summaries, memoranda, correspondence, presentations, talking points, white papers, and other materials that clearly communicate analysis, recommendations, progress, and decisions.
• Support boards, committees, and working groups. Assist Government-led governance bodies by coordinating meetings, maintaining participant information, consolidating issues and briefing materials, preparing readaheads and talking points, documenting discussions and taskings, and supporting updates to governing charters when directed.
• Support recurring program reporting and task management. Develop, collect, compile, and submit required activity reporting and use Government-designated systems and processes to manage correspondence and assigned tasks. Support maintenance of relevant content on SharePoint/Interlink sites, Microsoft Teams channels, and official group mailboxes.
• Support oversight and audit activities. Assist with Government Accountability Office, Inspector General, or other audit-related requests as directed and in accordance with established procedures.
• Support large events, forums, and conferences. As assigned, contribute to planning and execution of the annual SCRM Summit and/or vendor threat mitigation annual in-person conference, including stakeholder coordination, administrative and logistics support, panel and speaker coordination, attendee registration, and on-site support.

What Success Looks Like

• Our team combines the creative and the pragmatic to deliver the results that matter most to our clients. We see beauty when art and science come together.
• We seek self-starters, people who are confident in tackling challenges independently and bringing this to high-performing teams. We continually seek feedback from our customers and employees, looking for opportunities to grow.
• We are a small company which gives you an essential voice in shaping our culture. You will help grow our culture, and you will grow from experience, too.
