What You'll Be Doing

• Support the Transition. Monitor, assess, and guide the transition from legacy capabilities to desired DE solutions, to include supporting relevant aspects of the acquisition process. Routinely engage with customer stakeholders to communicate the objectives, the status, and needs.
• Establish governance. Coordinate with stakeholders to implement executable processes and clear lines of authority / responsibility to continually manage the deployment and sustainment of digital capabilities.
• Provide integrated perspective. Provide expertise that incorporates the needs of Aerospace and the range of government stakeholders to ensure that advice and solutions reflect consistent, balanced, and integrated strategies based on what is best for the entire space enterprise.
