Sabre Systems LLC • San Diego, CA

About The Position

Sabre Systems is hiring a Senior Advisor to support a U.S. Navy customer on a program focused on readiness and sustainment. The program aims to improve operational availability and mission effectiveness while controlling costs and optimizing constrained resources. It uses collaborative, data-driven operating models across operations, maintenance, engineering, supply chain, manpower and training, and financial management. AI-enabled approaches are a desired element for improving the speed, scale, and consistency of analysis and decision support.

The work includes producing readiness assessments and decision-support products; maintaining consistent readiness metrics and reporting; and integrating data from authoritative and legacy sources into actionable analytics and dashboards. Advanced analytics and, where appropriate, AI/ML techniques—such as forecasting, anomaly detection, and natural-language processing of maintenance narratives—are used to identify readiness drivers and constraints, improve predictive analytics, and inform trade-space decisions. These decisions balance near-term readiness with longer-term capability objectives, including legacy Fleet platform and systems sustainment and modernization transitions.

The Advisor develops strategic direction, vision, and mission for the program; advises on current industry-standard practices; and works with the program/project manager and senior client leadership to shape high-level vision and objectives for complex efforts. The position provides senior-level advice to the Government and support on program/project operations, evaluates plans and change-management strategies, and helps improve customer processes. It also requires broad expertise across client operations, including maintenance and supply-chain management and total force management.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems management, mathematics, physics, operations research, statistics, or engineering from an accredited college or university, or equivalent specialized experience. Six additional years of related work experience may substitute for the degree.
• Fifteen years of related experience, including twelve years of direct experience in the CAT/CFO concentration area.
• CAT/CFO experience supporting the PPB&E/POM cycle, Cost Performance Index (CPI), Schedule Performance Index (SPI) and Execution Index (EI), O&S/enabler cost accounts, and the Strategic Cost Management (SCM) tools and models used by OPNAV N83.
• Active DoD Secret clearance or higher.
• U.S. citizenship.
• Broad expertise sufficient to support a domain of client operations encompassing maintenance and supply-chain management and total force management.

Nice To Haves

• Prior military experience as a Commissioned Officer and/or senior-level DoD government experience (GS-14/15 or O-5/O-6) may be considered favorably.

Responsibilities

• Develop the program's strategic direction, vision, and mission.
• Provide insight and advice on strategic direction and the applicability of current, industry-standard practices.
• Work with the program/project manager and senior client leadership to develop high-level vision and influence objectives for complex efforts.

• Assess the adequacy and acceptability of evolving program/project plans and change-management strategies, and shape processes and operations to improve the customer's business methodology.
• Apply business management, organizational structure, and information management knowledge to formulate short- and long-term plans that support organizational outcomes.

• Identify and recommend programmatic approaches to redefine, plan, organize, design, develop, and modify current practices and processes.
