External Title Program Operations Coordinator – Alaska Workstream

Responsibilities

POSITION OVERVIEW:

Peraton is seeking an experienced Program Operations Coordinator to support modernization efforts under the FAA Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS) contract. This position provides centralized operational and programmatic support across both the Alaska Weather Needs Package (AWOS/VWOS/WCAM) and the Alaska Automation Capability (AAC) Needs Package, ensuring the Alaska workstream operates with the consistency, accountability, and responsiveness required to meet contract deliverables under the No Excuses Exceptional Delivery Standard (NEEDS).
