Chief of Staff

Herren Associates

Chief Of Staff

At Herren Associates, we're focused on driving innovation throughout the Federal landscape and in the business of turning insights into actions. Specializing in Cyber Security, Engineering and Management Consulting, our firm has a passion for fostering career progression and seeks to align motivated professionals with rewarding homes for their careers. With over thirty years of experience supporting an array of clients throughout the Public Sector, we welcome you to learn more about our dynamic organization and the role that you can play as we chart out a course for continued impact in the years to come.

We are currently seeking a mission-driven Chief of Staff to provide direct support to senior leadership across N95 Surface Ship Programs. This position is 100% onsite, working out of a front office located near the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. This role requires a blend of technical depth in amphibious ship design and executive "soft skills". You will be the bridge between initiatives and real-world fleet requirements. You will manage the "rhythm of the office," ensuring that data calls are precise, priorities are clear, and resource sponsors are aligned to deliver the next generation of amphibious capability.

Core Responsibilities:

  • Executive Support: Set daily priorities, manage the front-office flow, and ensure office deliverables meet the highest standards of accuracy and tone.
  • Resource Liaison: Serve as the primary point of contact for Resource Sponsors; navigate the complexities of N95 requirements to ensure program stability.
  • Strategic Execution: Manage the "running down" of complex data calls across various commands (NAVSEA, PEO Ships, USMC) to support Congressional testimony and budget exhibits.
  • Program Oversight: Focus specifically on the LPD 17 and LHA programs, including new construction, and the integration of emerging ship-to-shore technologies.

Qualifications:

  • Experience: 15 to 20 years of relative experience
  • Education: Completed Bachelors Degree
  • Acquisition Credentials: Demonstrated experience at NAVSEA, PEO Ships, OPNAV N9, or ASN(RD&A).
  • Clearance: Active Secret clearance required
  • Presence: Ability to work 100% onsite near the Navy Yard in Washington, DC.

Personal Qualities:

  • The "Translator": You can seamlessly translate between engineering specs, budget constraints, and fleet operational needs.
  • Executive Presence: Comfortable briefing Senior Executives without ego; you are mission-focused and "steady at the helm."
  • Ownership Mindset: You don't just identify problems; you run them to ground. You are reliable, calm under pressure, and have a high degree of integrity.

Herren Associates is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
