The Challenge:

• Work closely with Leidos ASC managers, SCAs, and subcontractors to establish clear performance and communications expectations in line with contractual terms and conditions and program requirements.

• Serve as an additional point of contact with the SPM, providing managers with multiple resources to discuss any subcontract-related matter (e.g., status, schedule, cost, technical, issue resolution, additional work, etc.).

• Support the SPM in prioritizing and managing subcontractors on the ASC program. This includes the development, implementation, assessment, and monitoring of subcontract communications in line with the organizational goals and objectives; the identification of emerging operational needs and risks, and development of appropriate methods to address them.

• Draft formal and informal subcontractor communications such as partner commitment letters, memos, and Operational Notices.  Timely communication to our partners is key and will require working closely with ASC mangers to collect information for any performance-based issues and/or compliments in order to draft communications and send in a timely fashion.

• Support ASC project managers and SCAs with RFP reviews and opportunities for process improvements.

• Support ASC managers and SCAs with subcontractor performance reporting requirements.

• Support engagement activities within ASC program, such as hosting learning sessions to orient and grow our Leidos managers across the program to be successful extensions of subcontract program management.

• Work closely with the ASC Risk Management team to ensure subcontractor risks and mitigations are identified and assessed.

What Sets You Apart:

• Bachelor’s degree and 2+ years of prior relevant work experience.

• Experience in project management and demonstrated ability to plan, organize, secure, and manage resources to bring about the successful completion of specific program goals and objectives.
