Defense Communications and Outreach Specialist

Whether it's process improvement, performance measurement, or business management analysis, organizational change management comes down to one thing: learning how an organization works and making it better. Although many companies know where they want to go, getting there can be a challenge. Thankfully, that's what you do: improve the systems that move entire organizations forward. It's why we're looking for an organizational transformation and change specialist like you who can help identify long-term goals and support the creation of the processes needed to achieve them.

You will serve as the primary Booz Allen communications and outreach specialist supporting a Department of Defense (DoD) client organization. In this role, you will help shape and execute strategic communications and engagement efforts that advance mission readiness, strengthen partnerships, and enhance stakeholder understanding of DoD priorities. You will work closely with DoD clients to define communication objectives, develop targeted outreach strategies, and deliver products that support mission execution across the enterprise.

• Develop high‑quality outreach and communication materials, including fact sheets, newsletters, media content, briefings, maps, graphics, and digital content, to communicate DoD priorities, enhance stakeholder awareness, and strengthen understanding of mission impacts.
• Maintain and update the client's website to ensure timely, accurate, and compelling communication.
• Provide mission‑focused meeting and coordination support across DoD organizations, ensuring alignment of stakeholder interests and facilitating effective decision‑making.
• Perform logistics coordination, agenda development, meeting summaries, preparation of background materials, and coordination of GIS products to support operational and strategic discussions.
• Support the development of public affairs guidance and comprehensive communications strategies, working alongside client support teams to ensure messaging consistency, alignment with DoD policies, and effective engagement with internal and external audiences.
• Facilitate engagement with industry, state, and local government partners, strengthening relationships that enable mission success.
• Represent the client organization in outreach efforts and help build new partnerships that advance defense objectives.
• Monitor and assess state and local policy developments relevant to the client mission, integrating findings into communication products, outreach strategies, and operational planning to mitigate risk and support mission assurance.
