Digital Innovation Posture Coordinator

Versar, Inc. • Newport News, VA

3d • $180,000 - $200,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Versar is seeking a full-time Digital Innovation Posture Coordinator within its new Digital Innovation (DI) operating unit, reporting to the Senior Vice President of DI. Focused on the Philippines and South Pacific, this position will combine regional posture expertise with practical digital innovation to help customers plan, prioritize, design, coordinate, and execute mission-critical infrastructure and asset requirements. The successful candidate will work closely with customers, program teams, technical specialists, contractors, and host-nation stakeholders to reduce friction, improve readiness, and accelerate mission execution in austere, remote, logistically constrained, and politically sensitive environments.
The ideal candidate will bring practical experience supporting Department of Defense, joint service, and federal customer missions in the Pacific and an innovation mindset focused on converting operational and posture requirements into executable outcomes. This role will integrate advanced planning, site access, real estate and land-use coordination, permitting, stakeholder engagement, and field-level problem solving with digital tools, repeatable processes, geospatial capabilities, and data-driven decision support. The individual will serve, where appropriate, as an owner’s representative and trusted technical adviser, helping customers improve situational awareness, evaluate options, manage constraints, and sustain momentum across complex project delivery environments.
Most importantly, the Digital Innovation Posture Coordinator will help build and advance an innovation pipeline that connects field requirements with scalable digital solutions. The successful candidate will identify opportunities to apply geospatial analytics, digital workflows, integrated data, dashboards, automation, and decision-support tools that give customers greater visibility into posture requirements, risks, dependencies, and execution status. These capabilities will help customers make faster, better-informed decisions and plan, deliver, and sustain mission-enabling infrastructure in austere and logistically constrained locations.

• Experience supporting risk identification and mitigation related to access, permitting, host-nation coordination, real estate, logistics, environmental considerations, and mission-critical infrastructure delivery.
• Excellent problem-solving, judgment, and decision-support skills in dynamic field environments.
• Familiarity with project management, planning, coordination, and reporting tools used to manage schedules, risks, actions, and stakeholder inputs.
• History of supporting multiple concurrent efforts while maintaining clear communication, accountability, and documentation.
• Ability to provide field-level coordination, planning support, and practical recommendations to technical and program leadership.
• Demonstrated experience building or advancing an innovation pipeline that uses digital tools, modernized processes, geospatial capabilities, integrated data, and decision support to improve readiness and customer mission outcomes across geographically dispersed portfolios.
• Ability to work well within a team environment, maintain a positive attitude, manage competing priorities, and produce high-quality work under time-sensitive conditions.

• Be authorized to work in the US or will be authorized by the successful candidate’s start date.
• Experience working across Department of Defense echelons, joint service organizations, military engineering units, civilian agencies, and host-nation stakeholders.
• Knowledge of Philippines, South Pacific, INDOPACOM, Pacific Deterrence Initiative, theater posture, or expeditionary engineering priorities, with an understanding of the operational importance of improving speed, agility, and mission effectiveness across the region.
• Ability to support customers as an owner’s representative or technical adviser in advanced planning, design coordination, construction readiness, real estate coordination, permitting, site access, stakeholder engagement, and field coordination.
• Strong communication and coordination skills, with the ability to represent U.S. interests professionally and effectively with government, military, contractor, and host-nation stakeholders.
• Experience preparing and providing briefings, coordination updates, planning products, and recommendations for customers and internal leadership.
• Experience preparing concise technical, operational, or planning documentation to support customer decision-making.
• Willingness to travel within the Pacific region, including to logistically constrained, remote, or austere locations.
• Experience using Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, and Project, with demonstrated ability to apply digital collaboration, workflow automation, geospatial tools, data integration, dashboards, or related decision-support capabilities.
• Demonstrated ability to identify customer pain points and convert them into practical, user-centered digital solutions that improve how customers visualize posture, assess tradeoffs, prioritize investments, and execute mission requirements.
• Demonstrated ability to identify constraints, develop practical solutions, and coordinate across diverse stakeholders to maintain momentum.
• Experience working in a team-oriented, collaborative environment with customers, consulting partners, contractors, and technical specialists from multiple disciplines.
• Ability to translate complex geopolitical, operational, engineering, or permitting challenges into clear, actionable recommendations.

Responsibilities

• Serve as a Digital Innovation posture coordinator supporting the planning, prioritization, design, coordination, and execution of mission-critical infrastructure and asset requirements across the Philippines and South Pacific.
• Work closely with customers, where appropriate, as an owner’s representative and technical adviser to translate mission and posture requirements into executable strategies supported by digital tools, integrated data, and practical decision-support processes.
