Job description

Advisor, Senior

Precise Systems delivers integrated, mission‑ready solutions that advance warfighter readiness and strengthen our nation’s most critical defense programs. We provide deep expertise in Advanced Engineering; Digital Transformation; Electromagnetic Warfare; Interactive Training & Simulation; Physical Sciences Research; Platform Lifecycle Support; and Foreign Military Sales.

Overview

We are hiring a Senior Advisor to support a U.S. Navy customer. This program provides readiness and sustainment support to improve operational availability and mission effectiveness while controlling cost and optimizing constrained resources. It uses collaborative, data‑driven operating models that include end‑to‑end readiness ecosystems (operations, maintenance, engineering, supply chain, manpower/training, and financial management). AI‑enabled approaches are a desired element of the solution to improve the speed, scale, and consistency of analysis and decision support.

The work includes producing readiness assessments and decision‑support products; establishing and maintaining consistent readiness metrics and reporting; and integrating data from multiple authoritative and legacy sources to deliver actionable analytics and dashboards. Advanced analytics and, where appropriate, AI/ML techniques (e.g., forecasting, anomaly detection, natural language processing of maintenance narratives) are used to identify readiness drivers and constraints, improve predictive analytics, and inform trade‑space decisions that balance near‑term readiness with longer‑term capability objectives, including Fleet legacy platform/systems sustainment and modernization transitions.

This position is contingent upon contract award to Precise Systems, Inc.

Responsibilities

• Serve as a senior advisor to the Government and provide support to the customer on program/project operations.
• Determine the adequacy and acceptability of evolving program/project plans and change management strategies, and mold processes and operations to improve the customer business methodology.
• Apply knowledge of business management principles, organizational structures, and information management techniques to formulate long‑ and short‑term management plans designed to achieve the outcomes desired by the organization.
• Analyze in‑place business, operational, and financial processes and management relationships.
• Identify and recommend programmatic approaches to re‑define, plan, organize, design, develop, and modify current practices and processes.
• Develop program/project plans, guidelines, and controls.
• Perform tasks that require both practical experience and theoretical, state‑of‑the‑art, technical knowledge in a specialty area.
• Demonstrate a broad scope of expertise sufficient to support an entire domain of client operations—maintenance & supply chain management, total force management.

Education Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information systems management, mathematics, physics, operations research, statistics, or engineering from an accredited college or university, or equivalent specialized experience. Allowable substitution: Six years of additional related work experience.

Experience Requirements

• Fifteen (15) years of related experience, of which twelve (12) years must be direct experience in the following concentration area: CAT/CFO—supports the PPB&E/POM cycle, Cost Performance Index (CPI), Schedule Performance Index (SPI) and Execution Index (EI), O&S/enabler cost accounts, and the Strategic Cost Management (SCM) tools and models in use by OPNAV N83.
• Prior military experience as a Commissioned Officer and/or senior level DoD government experience (GS14–15, O5–O6) may be considered favorably.
• Must have an active DoD Secret clearance or higher.
• Must be a U.S. citizen.
