Job Description Job Description

WWC Global, an operating firm of Command Holdings, is seeking an Operational Planning & Posture Subject Matter Expert (SME) to staff a position at MARFORPAC G-5 within Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM).

The Operational Planning & Posture SME is the branch’s technical/functional authority for deliberate planning support and posture‑related planning integration. The role defines and sustains planning‑support rigor—standards, quality gates, and expert advisory—so high‑visibility products remain coherent, defensible, and aligned with guidance across the Joint Planning and Execution Community (JPEC). Unlike the Senior role, the SME does not own daily suspense tracking/battle rhythm execution;

the SME intervenes where complexity, risk, or ambiguity threatens outcomes.

• Defining planning‑support standards (templates, quality gates, staffing checklists, traceability expectations, version‑control conventions) for branch‑wide use.
• Advising government leads on complex planning‑support approaches (staffing strategy, integration paths, decision points, adjudication methods).
• Performing senior technical review of high‑visibility briefs, information papers, and final planning documents to ensure clarity, consistency, and decision‑readiness.
• Resolving the hardest integration problems (conflicting guidance, misaligned assumptions, incomplete inputs) and recommending defensible tradeoffs and mitigation paths.
• Translating policy/guidance into actionable planning inputs and posture initiative implications (as directed by government leads).
• Strengthening Operational Planning Team (OPT)/working group outcomes by shaping narratives, analytical framing, and decision‑quality criteria (not meeting administration).
• Coaching senior and junior staff on advanced staff writing, editorial judgment, and staffing discipline through targeted reviews and exemplars.
• Assessing systemic bottlenecks and recommending repeatable improvements to reduce rework and improve first‑pass acceptance (without taking over daily execution).

This position is contingent on award.

Anticipated salary range: $113,000 - $135,000

• Ability to sit at a computer terminal for an extended period of time.
• Ability to work in confined areas.

• While performing the responsibilities of the job, the employee is required to sit, stand, talk, and hear.
• Employee is often required to sit and use their hands and fingers to operate a computer.
• Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

• 11‑20% / Occasional travel.
