ICBM Transition Office Project Manager Security Clearance

Position: ICBM Transition Office Project Manager with Security Clearance
Location: Hill Air Force Base

Job Description What's it like working in Project Management in the largest, most dynamic project in the Department of War--the Transition from Minuteman III to Sentinel Intercontenental Ballistic Missile Systems (ICBM)? Demanding, exhilarating, and fulfilling--what we do here matters now and will protect our nation for the next 60 plus years! BAE Systems is seeking an exceptional Project Manager for an exciting opportunity to oversee the $143B deployment of Sentinel and Deactivation of Minuteman III across six states.

Job Description:

This position is the heart of the ICBM Transition Office (ITO), working for the ICBM Directorate, and coordinating team activities in their mission to provide strategic planning and analyses that support a seamless, safe, secure, and effective Transition from the Minuteman III weapon system to Sentinel. Duties involve providing expert advice and support to Sentinel leaders on all areas that may impact ICBM Transition to include: all actions from strategic planning to tactical action to transform support, facilities, hardware, software, personnel, policies, training, security, contracts, budget, technology, and operational capability necessary to deactivate Minuteman III and simultaneously deploy Sentinel while meeting warfighter mission-in-execution requirements.

Specifically, this team member will be responsible for supporting the government ITO customer as part of the Integration Support Contract in the review and assessment of the Sentinel prime contractor's design, deployment plans, documentation, architectures, and other products in order to meet acquisition requirements and timelines. Our team provides expertise on both the Minuteman III and Sentinel weapon systems, concepts of operation, modeling, simulation, and works to identify and mitigate risks to ICBM Transition as well as opportunities to capitalize upon the same.

The position is accountable to the ITO Lead Program Manager for tasks and serves as a focal point for assigned projects. This team member supports the integration of existing Minuteman III, Sentinel and Air Force Global Strike Command schedules to develop and maintain a strategic sight picture of ICBM Transition efforts, facilitate early identification and mitigation of risks, opportunities for exploitation, and inform leadership decision making.

Duties also include evaluation of programmatic schedule activities impacting ICBM Transition/schedules/roadmaps and working to identify linkages and dependencies across Transition stakeholders and the development and tracking of ICBM Transition metrics. This team member also interacts with government customer staff and senior leaders in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Headquarters Air Force, Air Force Global Strike Command, US Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Strategic Command, as well as other Sentinel team partners from Federally-Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) and University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs).

This team member will also coordinate and integrate actions with other program managers, engineers, logisticians, testers, and external agencies. Our team includes existing staff with extensive expertise in the current Minuteman III weapon system (including the Airborne Launch Control System) and actively participates in ongoing studies and assessments for this next generation ICBM system. The successful candidate for these activities will:
* Be an experienced and skilled project manager and communicator willing to meet challenges head-on and balance mission priorities across the team while successfully maintaining personnel and customer relationships.

* Thrive in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment.

* Operate in a highly collaborative, team-focused manner and love working with a greater team to further the organization's higher-level goals and objectives.

* Be highly customer-oriented and always working to anticipate the customer's needs and work hard to exceed their expectations.
Pursuant to Government contract, this position requires US Citizenship status. This position is only located at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, due to special-access, classified working environment and is not conducive to regular "telework" schedules. Why Sentinel (formerly GBSD)? The Sentinel Program is an enormous and complex "Mega-Project" modernizing the entire ICBM weapon system deployed across tens of thousands of square miles in five states.

Without a doubt, Sentinel is one of the Department of Defense's (DoD's) most important acquisition efforts for the next decade, if not longer. It includes a complete refurbishment or replacement of hundreds of aging Minuteman III ICBM facilities to secure and support a newly designed, technologically advanced ballistic missile. It will also provide an entirely new command and control system as well as vast array of required support equipment specifically engineered to operate and sustain the new weapon system over the decades ahead.

Sentinel is the DoW's…
