Thompson Gray is seeking a highly motivated individual with a strong work ethic to support the U.S. Army in Orlando, Florida. The position requires an experienced Subject Matter Expert (SME) and Capability Developer for Future Training Directorate (FTD) exercising significant responsibility in the development of Army-wide collective training capabilities. The SME leads and manages the full lifecycle of capabilities development, from initial concept to material and doctrinal integration, for revolutionary training systems incorporating augmented/virtual reality, artificial intelligence, one world terrain, big data analytics, and intelligent tutors.

Location: Orlando, FL

Employment Type: Full-time (40 hours/week)

Work Schedule: Full-time on-site (5 days per week)

Telework: May be authorized

Clearance: Must have an active Secret clearance.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Independently initiates, manages, and conducts comprehensive Capabilities Based Assessments (CBAs) to identify, isolate, and analyze critical capability gaps spanning the Army's full doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, facilities, and policy (DOTMLPF-P) domains.
• Synthesizes complex and frequently conflicting findings from studies, user feedback, prototype results, and technical experiments to formulate and recommend innovative-and often unprecedented-DOTMLPF-P solutions.
• Authors key sections of doctrinal publications and formally staffs training development packages and leader education courses.
• Exercises significant influence over the Army-wide (force-wide) integration of FTD capabilities, ensuring alignment with U.S. Code, DoW directives, JCIDS policy, and strategic Army objectives for MDO. Decisions and recommendations establish precedent and shape the Army's collective training enterprise from the individual Soldier through Army Service Component Commands.
• Performs a broad range of analytical tasks influencing the Army's most advanced operational and organizational concepts. Originates the analytical framework for Other Transaction Authority (OTA) consortium actions and similar rapid-acquisition initiatives, defining study parameters, key research questions, and evaluation methodologies where no precedent exists.
• Leads Soldier-centered user experimentation and technical demonstration efforts, translating ambiguous operational needs into concrete, executable technical requirements for industry partners.
• Develops and authors Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) documents and other critical requirements documentation that define the future of Army training systems and directly influence major resourcing and acquisition decisions, including the rapid movement of validated requirements into the Defense Acquisition System.
• Manages the development and integration of the FTD portfolio requirements documents, including Initial Capability Documents (ICDs) and Capability Development Documents (CDDs), spanning a portfolio that ranges from the individual Soldier to Army Service Component Commands.
• Serves as the primary point of contact for coordinating these documents across all Army Centers of Excellence, Combined Arms Command (CAC), Future Concepts Command (FCC), Army T2COM, Headquarters Department of the Army (HQDA), the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology) (ASA(ALT), and Joint organizations.
• Provides independently developed recommendations for senior leadership that allows them to negotiate complex equities and resolve conflicts among stakeholders holding competing authorities and priorities to achieve consensus and secure formal validation of capabilities integrated across the entire Army and with external organizations.
• Represents the FTD, CAC-T, FCC, and Army T2COM as an authoritative expert at high-level Joint working groups, study advisory panels, and General Officer-level forums. Coordinates across Army, Joint, inter-agency, and industry organizations to achieve consensus and drive implementation of innovative training solutions.
• Critically reviews and advises senior leadership on adjudication concepts, doctrine, and requirements documents originating from other agencies and commands, providing substantive analysis that shapes their final development.
• Prepares and delivers decisive oral briefings and detailed written analyses on complex technical and operational issues to senior leaders - including General Officers and members of the Senior Executive Service (SES)-to secure approvals and guide strategic decisions. Maintains routine engagement at the 1- and 2-star General Officer level (including Center of Excellence Commanders and Division Commanders) and develops products consumed at the 3- and 4-star level that inform the Army's most critical resourcing decisions.
• Performs other duties as assigned.

Requirements:

• 2+ years' experience as an SME in the US Army Capability Development field.
• Mastery of analytical and evaluative methods sufficient to provide leadership on, and to independently complete, extremely broad and difficult capability-development projects spanning the FTD portfolio.
• Comprehensive, precedent-setting knowledge of a wide range of regulations, policies, JCIDS procedures, and acquisition authorities (including OTA) governing the capability-development process.
• Expert knowledge of major FTD program goals, milestones, decision methods, and alternative approaches, and expert knowledge of Army, Joint, and inter-agency military organizations, their functions, operational facilities, and interoperability relationships. This mastery enables the incumbent to develop novel theories and methodologies and to make authoritative recommendations adopted across the Army.

Education: BA/BS degree required, preferably in Business Administration.

Preferred Requirement: Army Capability Requirement Course
