International Operations Specialist

KBR•Mooresville, AL

About The Position

KBR seeks a highly organized and detail-oriented Operations Specialist with Foreign Military Sales (FMS) experience to serve as a key operational integrator within the International Program Office. This position supports multi-billion-dollar FMS cases and international cooperative defense initiatives and functions as a mission-critical enabler rather than a purely administrative role. The Specialist directly supports International Program Managers (IPMs) and senior IFMC leadership in lifecycle management of FMS cases—from funding validation and documentation development through execution tracking and audit readiness. Responsibilities include supporting Letters of Request (LOR) and Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) processing, case line tracking, financial reconciliation, and coordination with U.S. Army Security Assistance Command (USASAC), Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), and partner nation representatives. Operating at the intersection of acquisition, finance, security, and international engagement, the Specialist ensures compliance with export control laws, foreign disclosure policy, CUI safeguarding requirements, and IFMC modernization objectives. The role requires strong analytical skills, situational awareness, and the ability to coordinate across engineering, contracting, budget, logistics, and security stakeholders in a fast-paced program environment.
