• Advise on PPBE issues related to SSBN modernization.
• Organize and maintain Program tracking files/tools on program status, actions items and issues.
• Support the team in performing additional duties and responsibilities as assigned.
• Attend meetings and program reviews, provide presentations, written materials, and/or electronic communications with foreign country representatives from one of more countries. This may include interfacing with foreign liaison officers located at US Navy and/or contractor facilities.
• Provide timely and efficient responses for all urgent tasking.
• Ensure program correspondence and deliverables are in accordance with Serco's Quality Assurance Program.
