Summary: As the Lead Logistics Manager you will serve as the primary architect and Agile implementation lead of an expeditionary military systems’ Integrated Product Support (IPS) strategy. You will lead a high‑performing team of logisticians to ensure that our tactically deployed systems are suitable, survivable, maintainable and ready for Day 1 support of operations in the hands of deployed warfighters. Functioning as a strategic‑thinking logistics subject‑matter expert, you will be responsible to shape and lead the implementation of integrated logistics support capabilities of an emerging ACAT I level Program of Record system, to meet fast‑paced Agile‑driven system capability objectives and challenging development, testing and fielding schedules.

In this program, logistics is not an afterthought—it is a key enabler of lethality and survivability. Your work ensures that the systems Operational Availability (Ao) is maximized, the supply chain is not just supporting but accelerating system production and modernization, the end‑users and field support technicians are optimally trained on the system, and the user experience is optimized for total system performance while minimizing total ownership overhead.

In this role, you are a key enabler to evolve a complex prototype system into an expeditionary mission‑ready military capability.
