• Knowledge Transfer & Governance: Champion digital modernization initiatives and knowledge continuity by mentoring staff on KM best practices, standard operating procedures, and standardized reporting mechanisms.

3. Requirements Analysis and Agile Capability Delivery

• Lifecycle Traceability: Establish and maintain comprehensive requirements traceability matrices from initial request through sprint planning, refinement, user acceptance testing (UAT), security deployment, and operational closure using Jira, Azure DevOps, or Confluence.
• Visual Tracking & Sprint Management: Maintain sprint boards, velocity metrics, release roadmaps, and stakeholder status trackers to synchronize efforts between operational mission units and technical delivery teams.

4. Executive Decision Support and Operational AISR Synchronization

• Executive Decision Support: Synthesize complex airworthiness metrics, theater intelligence collection priorities, operational sortie rates, and maintenance data into concise, strategic visual summaries and briefings.
• Operational Coordination: Synchronize operational data across Army Service Component Commands (ASCCs), Military Intelligence Brigades-Theater (MIB-T), collection managers, and Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) nodes.

Required Skills:

• Oral and written communication skills with senior military staff leaders and experience with creating senior level briefings, information papers and executive summaries.
• Translate government mission needs and stakeholder objectives into clear user stories, functional requirements, technical requirements, and acceptance criteria
• Manage, organize, prioritize, and maintain a product backlog in coordination with government product owners and software development teams
• Establish and maintain requirements traceability from initial request through development, testing, acceptance, deployment, and closure
• Create and maintain visual backlog, requirements, sprint, release, and project-status tracking tools

Required Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree with 8+ years’ experience; OR Master’s degree with 6+ years’ experience.
• Executive Briefings & Operational Synchronization: Prepare and brief daily during BUB
• Agile Product Backlog Management: liaison between IC and software development teams. Agile Management: Jira, Azure DevOps, Confluence.
• Data Analytics & Dashboard Development: Army Vantage (Palantir Foundry) and Microsoft Power BI (DAX, Power Query, Data Modeling), SQL.

Desired Qualifications:

• Knowledge of mission planning and logistics support for Aerial ISR at battalion and higher-level operational experience with various manned and unmanned intelligence collection systems
