About The Role

As the Senior Space Enterprise Coordinator for a national security program conducting 24/7 Space Warfighting operations, you will synchronize communication, procedural workflows, system integration, and training efforts across operations centers, mission ground stations (MGSs), commercial resources, and other partnered agencies. As a space defense mission and system subject‑matter expert (SME), you will facilitate the rapid adoption of developing system tools, align network capabilities, and maximize a total‑enterprise force response to meet rising challenges within the space domain.

A successful candidate will frequently travel and liaise with DoD, IC, and supporting commercial community staff and leadership to assess mission protection readiness, best practices, and potential risks. You will manage training and coordinate participation in cross‑organizational exercises from tactical and operational perspectives with advanced knowledge of specialized Indications and Warning (I&W) tools. Additionally, you will maintain knowledge of current task orders, space events, systems, and mission needs, serving as an SME focal point for the program and ensuring strategic plans are implemented as intended.

• Maintain enterprise wide‑situational awareness and operational picture continuity.
• Measure effectiveness & performance criteria; develop, assess risk, and predict performance, coordinating with IC and DoD stakeholders.
• Coordinate training and exercise events for national operations centers and MGSs.
• Synchronize planning efforts; ensure COAs and TTPs meet mission protection needs through training, exercises, and test checkout.
• Assess Collection Management prioritization and mission impact to drive improved efficiencies.
• Liaise with operations centers and enterprise‑wide leadership; lead briefings and facilitate tours.
• Document Weekly Activity Reports (WARs) tracking significant enterprise statuses and progressions.
• Facilitate testing & integration efforts as new technologies link with all space protection missions.
• Support strategic planning and anticipate future threats and operational requirements.
• Frequently travel to partnered operations centers (CONUS, multiple sites within the program) and ground segments.
• Work full‑time on‑site at a government facility in Springfield, VA.

Qualifications

Required:

• Minimum of 16 years of experience without a degree, 14 years with an AS/AA, 12 years with a bachelor's degree (BS), 10 years with a master's degree, or 8 years with a PhD in a related field.
• Experience working in a high‑tempo space operational environment with contractors and government officials (military and civilian) of all ranks and leadership levels.
• Understanding and prior applied knowledge of orbital mechanics and space surveillance systems.
• Active TS/SCI clearance with adjudicated polygraph.

Preferred:

• 6+ years of experience with STK or other astrodynamics systems (e.g., ASW, ATLAS, SPADOC, or available I&W tools).
• Experience working within the Intelligence Community supporting space domain missions.
• Experience supervising personnel and/or leading relevant ops teams.
