About The Position

BAE Systems is seeking an exceptional Digital Logistics Project Manager for an exciting opportunity to support the Air Force's acquisition of Sentinel, the nation’s next generation Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). BAE Systems is the third largest defense contractor in the world known for our exceptional, mission-focused culture. The 800+ BAE Systems employees and sub-contractors located at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, are closely aligned to the U.S. Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC). We support the Center in sustaining the existing LGM-30 Minuteman III (MMIII) weapon system and acquiring its replacement, LGM-35A Sentinel (formerly known as the Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD)). We are a uniquely-valued mission partner delivering daily technical excellence and innovative solutions to our government customer. For the sixth consecutive year, BAE was named among the Salt Lake Tribune's "Top Workplaces," by its employees, earning special distinction for providing a healthy work-life balance for our valued employees. We work very hard to ensure this is a great place to work! Utah is an amazing state with diverse geography, an eclectic culture and an exceptional quality of life. We are located north of Salt Lake City at the foot of the beautiful Wasatch Mountains. The area offers an incredible range of outdoors pursuits across the seasons including hiking, climbing, hunting, fishing, camping, boating and world-class skiing at resorts that hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics. The state is home to five amazing National Parks and an easy drive from two more—Teton National Park and Yellowstone, famously, the first national park in the world. The Salt Lake City area offers a vast array of cultural activities and businesses including multiple professional sports teams. It is a western states hub for exceptional, cutting-edge medical care with people traveling from across the region for a range of nationally renowned specialty care centers and doctors. The Salt Lake City International Airport is expanding and offers easy, direct access to just about anywhere you want to fly. There is never a dull moment on this strategic effort, a cornerstone for the nation’s security! The Sentinel Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Program will completely replace the aging Minuteman III (MMIII) ICBM, an undertaking not performed in over 50 years. This program is considered a “mega-project” and one of the most complex in the history of the Department of Defense. The new ICBM weapon system acquisition effort brings with it the newest digital engineering tools and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices to meet existing warfighter requirements, while having the adaptability and flexibility to affordably address changing technology and threat environments through 2075. As part of the U.S. Air Force's Integration Support Contract (ISC), BAE Systems provides advisory and assistance services in the areas of engineering, logistics, management, scientific analysis, and other subject matter expertise to augment and optimize management of the Sentinel ICBM Prime Contractor. BAE is looking for a forward-thinking leader to serve as the Digital Logistics Project Manager, accountable to the Product Support lead. In this role, you will be the primary catalyst for transforming traditional acquisition and logistics into a digitally-empowered enterprise. You will bridge the gap between the Air Force’s vision for a model-based enterprise and the operational reality of weapon system deployment. As a key project manager and subject matter expert, you will lead the digital transformation of Sentinel Digital Material Management for sustainment, ensuring seamless stakeholder collaboration across the acquisition lifecycle. You will operate in a high-performance culture, providing direct support to a national security-critical weapon system throughout engineering development, deployment, and sustainment. Your core impact will include: Strategic Roadmap: Developing and maintaining the Digital Sustainment Charter and Roadmap, utilizing quarterly OKRs to ensure the digital vision is delivered on time and within budget. Expert Advisory: Providing technical guidance to the Sentinel Product Support Manager and Division leadership to validate DoW digital acquisition and sustainment requirements. Enterprise Integration: Coordinate the Digital Sustainment Working Group and engaging with senior stakeholders across the OSD, HQ Air Force, AF Global Strike Command, NSA, and U.S. Strategic Command. Digital Tooling: Identifying and implementing the tools and capabilities necessary for digital acquisition, leveraging authoritative models and data to streamline operations. This is a rare opportunity to join a high-performing team and shape the development and deployment of the national security critical backbone of our nuclear deterrent capability. Do not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
