About The Position

ShadowObjects LLC is seeking an Enterprise Knowledge Management & Process Improvement Specialist to support a Department of the Navy enterprise procurement and eBusiness Tier 2 support capability. The position is responsible for converting resolved support issues into reusable knowledge, standardized processes, job aids, training content, and measurable service improvements across the DON procurement and eBusiness ecosystem. The role will work across interconnected procurement processes, data, and systems, including, as applicable, ePS, AMS, Navy ERP, PIEE, SAM.gov, NECO, and other current or emerging DON and DoD procurement platforms and interfaces. Working directly with Tier 2 leadership, procurement subject-matter experts, analysts, users, system program offices, and other stakeholders, this individual will help reduce recurring support demand and improve the consistency and quality of service across the enterprise. This is not primarily a document-control position. The role requires someone who can identify why recurring issues happen across policy, process, data, systems, and organizational handoffs and turn that insight into lasting operational improvements.
