The number of days the team member works on-site in Washington, DC, or Sterling, VA, is subject to change based on government/program requirements (for example, surge support might require the individual to be in the office five days per week).

• Drive projects to completion in a fast‑paced environment.
• Leverage strong written and verbal communications skills to prepare and present technical documentation to audiences with different levels of technical knowledge.
• Transition seamlessly between being self‑directed with limited supervision to being a team player who takes direction from others.
