About You

You love our users, and you want to work with them. This is the single most important requirement. Implementing new software requires the enthusiastic support of our user base skillful planners, primarily in the grade of O-4 and O-5. You understand them, and they confide in you. Users want you around, and they ask you to have a beer.

You can get things from large government organizations. Example : our engineer needs admin access to a system on JWICS, in order to diagnose technical issues. It's an unusual request, and no one at the customer knows what to do. Everyone tells you it's not possible, but you love a bureaucratic challenge. You solve the problem with a few phone calls

You're technically adept. You don't need to code, but you do need to be savvy. Can you become a power user of our product and talk engineering with the customer?

You work well with customers. You demonstrate strong interpersonal skills by cultivating trust, aligning diverse perspectives, and communicating with clarity and influence.

You're intense about our mission. It's a core part of who you are.

You're proactive and adaptable. Comfortable working autonomously or with cross-functional teams, especially in fast-paced or ambiguous settings.
