About The Position

As the Senior Program Analyst for Non-Program of Record (NPOR) solutions, you will serve as the lead analyst and project manager for unique, often urgent, foreign partner requirements that fall outside the traditional Program of Record structure. Operating in a fast-paced, SES-2 level organization, you are a creative problem-solver, responsible for developing and executing tailored acquisition strategies for these non-standard systems. Your primary function is to navigate the complexities of rapid acquisition pathways to deliver mission-critical capabilities while ensuring all solutions are executable, compliant, and—most importantly—logistically supportable over their lifecycle.

A minimum of eight to twelve (8-12) years of proven experience in DoD/Army acquisition or program management.
Must possess a current Secret security clearance.
Demonstrated experience managing agile, rapid, or non-traditional acquisition projects is required.
Expert knowledge of alternative and rapid acquisition pathways (e.g., Middle Tier of Acquisition, Other Transaction Authority - OTA) in addition to the traditional DoD 5000 series.
Creative and adaptive problem-solving skills, with a proven ability to navigate ambiguity and develop novel solutions for unique requirements.
Strong understanding of lifecycle logistics and sustainment planning, particularly as it applies to unique or "one-off" systems without an organic support structure.
Superior ability to communicate complex project plans and risks to senior leadership.
