The Opportunity:

As a management analyst, you know the complexities of supporting a project from concept to completion. Many programs require a significant investment of limited resources, and it’s imperative to keep the project on a productive path. That’s why we need an experienced program management specialist like you who can help ensure success through careful analysis and effective communication.

On our team, you will support a government client in the delivery of warfighting capability to the U.S. Navy through leadership engagement coordination and development of strategic communication materials.

You’ll maintain responsibility for implementing and maintaining organizational programs for the client, assisting with tactical planning using tools like Microsoft Office, Microsoft Planner, Agile tools, and regular collaboration with Booz Allen and Navy leadership. You’ll lead the development and coordination of senior leader briefings, whitepapers, and memorandums, and provide technical review and quality assurance of correspondence, policy, and acquisition documentation for a program office. You’ll plan and execute strategic initiatives aligned with program goals, and coordinate with the officer manager to facilitate high-level meetings and events, ensuring materials are prepared and time is well-managed. You’ll also facilitate communication between departments, stakeholders, and executives, and prepare resources and materials for high-level meetings and events.

Effective communication is key to achieving program goals and quality standards. Booz Allen continually grows as a team to provide optimal client support, offering resources for success and opportunities to influence meaningful missions and develop program strategy.
