• Lead the Transition-In effort through Initial Operational Capability (IOC) and Full Operational Capability (FOC), including execution of the required incumbent overlap period.
• Author and submit Monthly Status Reports (MSRs) covering project status, new projects and milestones, problems and corrective actions, personnel status, required Government actions, travel, accumulated ODC/Travel CLIN costs, customer satisfaction metrics, and open trouble tickets.

• Forthright: speaks with conviction; argues based on understanding, respectfully.
• Inquisitive: seeks deeper explanations of how systems work, not the surface-level description of the actors involved; goes beyond “stick-fetching” to connect the unconnected.
• Timely: shows up, ready to think, prepared to get on with the day’s assignments; contributes analytical insights that meet time-sensitive, reasonable requests.
• Honest: knows what’s right, what’s legal, what’s appropriate; acts accordingly.

• A minimum of 5 years of experience in management and supervision of substantive military hardware/software development.
• A minimum of 5 years of experience in systems analysis.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Expertise and competencies appropriate to understand how the scope of work align to the required technical skills of the ACI workforce.
