  • Assist the government team with comprehensive program and project analysis. This requires applying analytical techniques to support the planning and organizing of all programmatic activities, including the development and maintenance of integrated master schedules, program management plans, and other critical planning documentation that translates strategic goals into executable actions.
  • Provide advisory support for the review and establishment of program-level policies and guidance. This includes interpreting higher-level directives from DoD, USAF, and AFLCMC, and assisting the government in drafting and refining local operating instructions and program guidance to ensure full compliance and improve the efficiency of internal processes.
  • Actively engage with functional team leads and team members to develop, manage, and update the program's action plans. This is a dynamic task that involves tracking progress against established goals, identifying potential roadblocks, and working with the team to reprioritize tasks as necessary to adapt to changing program conditions and maintain forward momentum on critical path items.
  • Assist in the development and refinement of high-impact strategic briefings and other materials intended for presentation to senior leadership. This involves synthesizing complex technical, schedule, and cost information into a clear, concise, and defensible narrative that effectively conveys program status, risks, and recommended courses of action.

  • Responsible for the collection, consolidation, and management of program-related reporting for the program office and its interfacing organizations. This includes drafting and delivering monthly activity reports, preparing detailed year-in-review and history reports, and developing program quad charts. A key function of this role is to coordinate and formulate responses to ad-hoc data calls and taskers from external organizations and oversight authorities, including PEOs, Functional Directorates, and other entities across the AFLCMC enterprise and any Air Base Wing where LCMC has a presence.
  • Provide direct support to meetings by capturing key discussion points, decisions, and action items. Following the meetings, the contractor is responsible for formally documenting and disseminating these action items to the assigned POCs and diligently tracking them through to completion and formal closure.
  • Establish and maintain the program's lessons learned documentation. This involves proactively capturing key insights, best practices, and process improvement suggestions from all phases of the program life cycle to build a repository that fosters continuous improvement and informs future strategic planning.
