Your strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills will be put to practice to ensure strategic design, execution, and sustainment for these critical IT systems are well defined, understood, and executable. Other skills and expertise include cloud computing, system architecture, strategy development, and enterprise solutioning.
This role requires complex thinking and strategizing to ascertain which legacy systems can be updated, what software or hardware can be replaced, and what future, innovative services or products will support DoD mission operations.

You'll assist with the alignment of processes and resources to effectively accomplish planned and ad-hoc tasks. You will work across key stakeholders to support the development and sustainment of an integrated architecture and engineering-based plan that captures programs, initiatives, and investment and sustainment strategies supporting the modernization of DoD systems.
