About The Position

ASI Government provides government leaders with the expertise they need to navigate acquisition and organizational challenges so they can make an impact and achieve their goals. For over 30 years, ASI has transformed the way government does business, impacting over 70 government agencies across the civilian, defense, and intelligence communities. ASI Government is building a team of Other Transaction (OT) and Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) practitioners to help NAVSUP stand up a sustainable, enterprise-wide OT/CSO capability. Two Institutional-Posturing SMEs are needed to work at the NAVSUP Headquarters level — building the policy, governance, and workforce foundation that will let NAVSUP’s new acquisition flexibility scale well beyond the Norfolk pilot office and reach programs across the enterprise.

Requirements

• Experience as an OT and/or CSO practitioner, with a practical understanding of how these authorities are used from requirement through award.
• Experience developing policy, guidelines, templates, or governance frameworks within a federal acquisition organization.
• Familiarity with the Agreements Officer warranting/qualification process (or comparable Contracting Officer warranting processes).
• Strong stakeholder management skills; comfortable working across policy, legal, finance, and senior leadership.
• Active Secret clearance required at time of hire.
• Based in or within regular commuting/travel distance of the Philadelphia, PA metro area, with willingness to travel to NAVSUP Headquarters in Mechanicsburg, PA as needed.

Nice To Haves

• Prior experience building or maturing an OT/CSO (or similar non-FAR) capability within a DoD organization.
• DAWIA Contracting certification (or equivalent), FAC-C, or FAC-COR credentials.
• Experience developing training curricula or coordinating with acquisition training organizations (e.g., WarAU, formerly DAU).
• Prior experience supporting Navy or NAVSUP programs.

Responsibilities

• Establish a documented process for qualifying, appointing, and warranting Agreements Officers.
• Help NAVSUP develop internal OT and CSO guidelines, templates, guides, handbooks, and decision tools.
• Partner with policy, legal, finance, and NAVSUP leadership to build institutional support for OT/CSO use.
• Help define review pathways, approval processes, delegations of authority, and governance structures.
• Coordinate with the Department of War Acquisition University (WarAU) to identify or develop appropriate training for the OT/CSO workforce.
• Support development of NAVSUP’s broader OT/CSO education program, in partnership with the Education SME.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package (viewable on our careers site).
• Help build the institutional foundation for a Navy-wide acquisition capability that will outlast any single program.
• Work on high-impact, high-visibility projects that improve government services.
• Collaborate with experienced consultants in strategy, analytics, and organizational development.
• Opportunity for career growth in a dynamic and mission-driven environment.
