Do you thrive on creating unique and impactful value for Federal clients? Are you passionate about partnering with clients and collaborating to create solutions? Do you enjoy the opportunity to drive change that impacts our nation?

We are looking for smart, curious, driven individuals to join us in partnering with our client to help them solve some of the nation’s most challenging problems. ASI Government serves as a trusted adviser to government leaders seeking improved performance, enhanced organization effectiveness, and strategic change.

ASI Government is building a team of Other Transaction (OT) and Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) practitioners to help NAVSUP stand up a sustainable, enterprise-wide OT/CSO capability. Two Institutional-Posturing SMEs are needed to work at the NAVSUP Headquarters level — building the policy, governance, and workforce foundation that will let NAVSUP’s new acquisition flexibility scale well beyond the Norfolk pilot office and reach programs across the enterprise.

Key Responsibilities:

• Establish a documented process for qualifying, appointing, and warranting Agreements Officers.
• Help NAVSUP develop internal OT and CSO guidelines, templates, guides, handbooks, and decision tools.
• Partner with policy, legal, finance, and NAVSUP leadership to build institutional support for OT/CSO use.
• Help define review pathways, approval processes, delegations of authority, and governance structures.
• Coordinate with the Department of War Acquisition University (WarAU) to identify or develop appropriate training for the OT/CSO workforce.

• Familiarity with the Agreements Officer warranting/qualification process (or comparable Contracting Officer warranting processes).
• Strong stakeholder management skills; comfortable working across policy, legal, finance, and senior leadership.
• Active Secret clearance required at time of hire.
• Based in or within regular commuting/travel distance of the Philadelphia, PA metro area, with willingness to travel to NAVSUP Headquarters in Mechanicsburg, PA as needed.

Preferred:

• Prior experience building or maturing an OT/CSO (or similar non-FAR) capability within a DoD organization.
• DAWIA Contracting certification (or equivalent), FAC-C, or FAC-COR credentials.
• Experience developing training curricula or coordinating with acquisition training organizations (e.g., WarAU, formerly DAU).
• Prior experience supporting Navy or NAVSUP programs.

Why Join ASI Government?

• Help build the institutional foundation for a Navy-wide acquisition capability that will outlast any single program.
