Acquisition Program Analyst, Senior at sprymethods in Quantico, VA

Job description

• Do you want your acquisition expertise shaping a Marine Corps command-and-control portfolio rather than sitting in a briefing binder? As a Senior Acquisition Program Analyst supporting PM MAGTF C2 at Quantico, you will advise the Portfolio Management and Solutions & Integration Teams on the principles, policies, and practices of systems acquisition under the DoD Adaptive Acquisition Framework. You will be the voice senior leadership turns to when a strategy has to hold up to Federal, DoD, and DoN scrutiny. Our team is built on giving experienced analysts real influence over portfolio-level decisions from day one.

Responsibilities

• Provide advice and recommendations on systems acquisition and program management in the development and execution of the DoD Adaptive Acquisition Framework.
• Gather, analyze, and measure the effectiveness, efficiency, and productivity of MAGTF C2 programs, including compliance with U.S. Code, FAR/DFARS, DoD, and DoN acquisition policy.
• Plan, research, and assess MAGTF C2 acquisitions across development, production, and deployment; draft plans and recommend strategies that meet cost, schedule, and performance objectives.
• Develop and revise acquisition reports and documents required by Federal, DoD, and DoN reporting requirements, in coordination with Government counterparts.
• Support program management reviews and senior-level meetings, developing briefings and schedules of program status and acquisition tasks, and prepare Bi-Weekly SITREP inputs with an executive summary.

Requirements

• Demonstrated history of delivering acquisition strategy, documentation, and senior-level analysis for DoD ACAT programs — 12 years' relevant experience per the Staffing Matrix.
• Bachelor's degree.
• Active DoD Secret clearance with ADP-II/IT-2 (T-3) eligibility; able to obtain SIPRNet access.
• Working command of the DoD Adaptive Acquisition Framework (DoDI 5000.02) and Federal/DoN acquisition policy.
• Defense Acquisition Workforce certification (Program Management, Advanced) or PMP.
• Prior support to a USMC or Navy program office, ideally within Marine Corps Systems Command.
• Comfort operating inside a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) portfolio — PI planning, epics, capability roadmaps.
• The kind of writer who can turn a messy staff action into a clean decision brief.
